Page "Hüsker Dü" Paragraph 12

Creative and personal tensions between Mould and Hart had become unresolvable and they intensified when Mould began overseeing most of the band's managerial duties following the suicide of manager David Savoy on the eve of the tour in support of the album.

In September 2006, Hart told Britain's Q magazine, " I take full responsibility for suicide.

It was a direct result of the pressure of working for Bob and me, because he was being forced into a two-faced situation.

" Mould also called the suicide " the beginning of the end ".

The band dissolved after a show in Columbia, Missouri in support of the band's 1987 double album Warehouse: Songs and Stories.

Hart was trying to quit heroin using a supply of methadone, but the bottle had leaked.

Hart played the show, but Mould and Norton were concerned Hart would soon be suffering from withdrawal and thus would be unable to play the next few shows.

While Hart insisted he could perform, Mould had already cancelled the dates.

Hart quit the band four days later.

Mould has said that the breakup was about " three people going their separate ways " at that time, referring to Hart's drug use and a new relationship, Norton's recent marriage and starting a new business, and Mould himself having just quit a lifelong drinking habit.
