When the band was at the height of their fame, their sister Carolyn died in a collision at the age of 18. Additionally, their mother passed away in front of Matt when her stomach sprained.

According to reports, the brothers are still having trouble speaking to one another. Mattt stated in an interview with the Guardian last year that he didn’t want to “lied” about their relationship’s status.

He explained the causes of their disagreement, saying, “It’s a tough one. Out of respect for him, I don’t want to say too much. However, I won’t pretend that it’s kumbaya because it’s not.

Matt asserted his still-happy belief that the duo should continue to produce music together. We shouldn’t have gotten together, in my opinion to this day. He said, “We should have just rode out the storm.”

We can sing along and sigh over all the disparaging words in the old world, and I love you Pat Finn and look forward to seeing you again in the after.

Heartbroken that our dear friend, Pat Finn, passed away, wrote Brian Stack. Likewise, he was brilliantly funny.
