The band last toured together in 2013.
In the days following Schlesinger’s death, Collingwood took to Twitter to thank “everyone for all your kind words of sympathy and support.” “Answering everyone will take a long time,” he wrote. “My thoughts are with Adam’s children and his parents, who treated me as one of their own.” Thanks everyone for all your kind words of sympathy and support.
