In mid-October 2011, through a video posting on the band's Facebook page, it was announced that Naoto Hori had quit the band at the end of the summer of 2011. For the tour at the end of 2011, a musician called Alex Baker covered on bass. The band also announced the tour booked for 2011 would be their last nationwide, headlining tour for the foreseeable future, the main reason being the difficulty in balancing full-time jobs with managing the band and booking the tours themselves. It was stressed that Brigade are not breaking up, will continue to do occasional live shows and record, but large-scale touring was not on the agenda. In 2016 the band announced that the original lineup would be reuniting for a one-off show, to celebrate 10 years since the release of "Lights".
