He shared his feelings about the rigorous travel schedule and how it wore him down over the years, expressing that he has been contemplating this change for the past few years. During an interview, fellow band member Cheryl Baker confirmed that Mike's departure was largely due to his aversion to traveling, despite enjoying the camaraderie of performing with the group.
