However, after 1992's "Angel Dust" and its ensuing tour, Bottum's input into Faith No More was reduced significantly. His keyboards, previously prominent in the band, were almost absent on "King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime" (1995). Bottum later explained that he suffered a nervous breakdown in this era and "all of that is a real blur for me." He was addicted to heroin and also experienced the death of his father and saw the aftermath of Kurt Cobain's suicide on Courtney Love (Cobain's wife and Bottum's close friend, and also an early singer for Faith No More).
