Question

why did mud have to tell the old life die​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\blue{Answer}}}$

The band decided to go separate ways in 1979. However, Les reformed the band as 'Les Gray's Mud' with a new lineup. This lasted on and off until 2004. The three remaining members were given permission by the other founding members of Mud, plus that of Gray's family, to continue using the band's name.
