Bottum, who has performed with the band since they established themselves as Faith No More in 1983, made the admission during a recent interview with Chile’s Radio Futuro when he was asked about the current state of the band.
“I don’t know. I honestly don’t know,” Bottum admitted. “And you don’t have to believe me, but there’s nothing… Right now we’re in a really weird spot, a really strange spot, and I can’t really tell you what’s going on. I don’t know myself. I get different information from people, and I’m in the band.”

Bottum also asserted that he’s not the one calling the shots in the band, stating, “Not really. If I did, probably we’d be playing in Chile next week.”
Originally emerging out of the San Francisco group Sharp Young Men, Faith No More adopted their most famous moniker in 1983, and released a total of six albums prior to their dissolution in 1998. Their biggest successes came about following the inclusion of vocalist Mike Patton in 1988, with their following albums – 1989’s The Real Thing and 1992’s Angel Dust – peaking at No. 11 and No. 10 on the Billboard 200, respectively.
The group reunited in 2009, touring globally before releasing their Sol Invictus album in 2015. That same year resulted in the band’s final shows, though a pair of dates took place in 2016 with former vocalist Chuck Mosley to celebrate the reissue of their 1985 debut, We Care a Lot. Mosley would pass away one year later at the age of 57.
Faith No More had initially planned to make their live return in 2020, though shows across the U.S., Europe, and Australia were later postponed due to the COVID pandemic. In 2021, the dates were canceled entirely, with Patton announcing his activities with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle had been shelved due to “mental health reasons” which he later explained was a diagnosis of agoraphobia.
While Patton and Mr. Bungle would later return to the stage, Faith No More have remained quiet ever since, with Bottum describing the band’s current status as being on a “semi permanent hiatus” in October 2024.

Zimmerman posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday (Jan. 21), directly addressing his Crash My Playa performance.
“I was always raised up to hit my problems head-on, and never to lie, and always be truthful and honest, even when you’re embarrassed,” he started his video message. “So, I’d like to talk about something that’s been eatin’ me alive. Last weekend, down in Cancun, Mexico, I’m sure everybody’s seen the videos of me playing absolutely awful, and singing absolutely awful. And, I feel like you guys deserve an explanation from me, because you’ve had my back through the highs and lows, and through every mistake.”
He continued, “What happened was, I decided to drink that day, which was a mistake, and I got up onstage and I was too drunk to play. And I sang awful, I played awful, nobody got the show that they wanted or paid for, and I’m disappointed in myself. If you’ve been to my shows, you know how much I’ve talked about God since day one, and it was an awful representation of that. And to anybody, like I said, that’s embarrassed of me, I’m there. I’m embarrassed as well, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that this never happens ever again. I want to show you guys the person that I truly am.”
He ended by saying, “So, I’m just asking for a little bit of grace. Man, growing up is interesting. It’s not an excuse, but man, thank you to everybody that’s got my back. Thank you for staying, thank you for showing me love, and grace, and we’re gonna crush this year. But yeah, I just wanted to say I’m sorry. I freakin’ love you guys more than anything in the world and I don’t wanna lose ya. Forgive me and I love ya. Thank you for listening.”
Zimmerman’s next concert is set for March 1 in West Palm Beach, Florida. He also recently revealed his 2025 summer tour dates on his New to Country Tour, with the shows launching in June.
