At one of their last performances of the tour, at Madison Square Garden Ingrosso famously broke the sound barrier as he was drumming so quickly with his drumpad.

Following the break up Ingrosso returned to his solo music and the song "Reload", adding in the vocals of favourite collaborator John Martin and renaming the song to "Reload (Take My Hand)".
