My understanding is that he was still a full member until 88 and even
performed with them on the UK version of Grammys in 88 where they got a
life achievement award(I have the video). At that time they were in
discussion/planning stage for the 89 tour. Roger was insistent, as long as
Kenny was a member he (Rog) wouldn't agree to the tour. Kenny had a chance
to join another band and took it, thus officially leaving the band and
creating the opportunity for them to take on a new drummer, this time FOR
HIRE.
