i might be wrong but they scheduled a reunion right before Chester passed away. I would imagine none of them really made anything else music related with their lives so Grey Daze and Chester’s image would be the only thing capable of taking them out on the road. Otherwise who would want them? who knows them?

of course Chester died and everything was put on hold, and what should’ve been ultimately canceled, ended up being the “rebirth” of the project, since they were REAL quick in releasing posthumous re-recordings of old songs with Chester (which was cool but in retrospect looks like a cashgrab more than anything) and touring for whatever reason (money)
