Of some concern, however, was the mental health of lead singer Adamson. In 1999 he disappeared for a time before resurfacing stating that he had needed some time off. There were also reports of battles with alcohol. In November 2001 he disappeared once again; this time he did not return, and was found dead in a hotel room in Hawaii on December 16, 2001.
