Talking Heads formally announced their breakup in 1991, following a gradual winding down that began after the stop making sense tour wrapped in late 1990.

A brief 2002 one-off performance for 9/11 fundraising and another at a 2003 ceremony underscored that the band was inactive, not absent, leaving the 1991 date as the definitive break.
