Live’s breakup 2022 Options

[Born_Branded]

I am reaching out here because what i am finding out there is either conflicting or not the full story. I did not know about the latest breakup until i listened to the concert from Fort Lauderdale here. I am deeply saddened by this news to say the least. I was upset and shocked the first time as we all were but was ecstatic to hear they got back together in 2016. Now it has happened again? Most likely permanent?? Ed has been a strong role model of mine since the 90’s and to read in Rolling Stone, how they put him in such a bad light firing everyone and continuing on. I am trying desperately not to think badly of anyone and i am surely not picking sides here but i am looking for the truth here. It it truely a firing vindictive thing, a mutual breakup? Does anyone have any insight to share (keeping it politically neutral of course)?

Here’s the math

Eventually those in an abusive relationship stop looking for excuses to allow it to continue and actually admit to themselves they’ve been abused. 2 out of 3 members have done that. The other one is stuck on seeing, admitting and accepting it……sadly.

The events and narratives provided over the years have gotten folks to believe one side over the other
Fans argue over this, due to the more believable story based on confirmation bias or personal feelings of the said person(s)

The lead singer has been portrayed as the bad guy for many years
The outspoken ringleader and voice sometimes doubling as the rhythm guitarist has gotten folks to think everything they’ve done and said is factually true .

The modis operandi is to keep that “truth” in the forefront no matter how obvious the reality is when you add up everything.

You can find out what has been laid out between the band members gripes, firings, divorces, infidelities, made up lies, assaults on wives, creative direction stories, myriad of legal troubles.

The singer has to be able to support himself by touring with other musicians due to all this embroilio. As I do understand all 4 get certain % of The Band Live vs the touring “group” splits.

One person has always taken the path of outspoken storytelling and gaslighting.
One person has always remained silent and taken the high road. 2 others have always gone along to get along and stood in one corner. That reality is now, and those few who have spoken out and put out their events of happenings and the like; are still being portrayed that they are lying. One is eerily silent over fear or fantasy.

One members avarice was always seemingly his goal. Now, those avenues have dried up as the years of trying to keep afloat living on other peoples money have crashed into the legal brick wall.

Keeping 3 in the band while this plays out is bad karma for business. So continuity on a certain level must occur as what we have today.

So who knows where it all goes or becomes.

Someone in the know!!
