I think they still may be. Popper had to lose weight (and he did, big time; he was almost 400 pounds at one time)

>>The band’s latest release is an acoustic “remix” greatest hits album called Cover Yourself.

>>In 1999, he suffered a near-heart attack brought on by years of compulsive overeating. (He had been diagnosed with diabetes a few years earlier.) Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center performed an emergency angioplasty which saved Popper’s life: he had 95% arterial blockage.Popper later underwent gastric bypass surgery and lost a significant amount of weight.
