It came down to economics-it was too hard
financially to keep 3 guys on the road. The guys
decided in January after another break-even tour to
end the "VOL". Bill has been flirting with
going solo for a couple of years since basically
it's him and whichever rotating cast of
characters is playing behind him-hence the
transition when they went from "Vigilantes of Love"
to "Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love"-sort of a
precursor to the inevitable solo career.
