Rundell died by suicide on August 8, 1990,[1] nearly a year after the release of the band's first album, Surprise. After his death, the band went on hiatus before reuniting as a trio by the end of 1990.[1]
In 2016, Rundell's family and former drummer Cary Bonnecaze sued the Better Than Ezra, contending that the band did not have the right to re-release the 25th anniversary re-mastered edition of Surprise.[2]
