As of May 2011, it was announced, via the Pure Prairie League website, that Fuller would not be appearing at all of the band's shows that year since he decided to take a break from touring. He ended up leaving the group again altogether by 2012. On February 10, 2012, at The Syndicate in Newport, Kentucky, Fuller, his son Patrick, Tommy McGrail, and George Ed Powell (a frequent guest at their Ohio shows in recent years) took to the stage to join the current Pure Prairie League lineup of John David Call, Mike Reilly, Rick Schell and Donnie Lee Clark. In May 2012, Scott Thompson (vocals, drums, percussion) replaced Rick Schell, who departed to continue to grow his real estate business. Former member Tim Goshorn died on April 15, 2017, at age 62 at his home in Williamstown, Kentucky after a bout with cancer.
