Why did Chicago Fire Peter Cetera?

In a podcast interview with Mark Pattison from November 2019, Cetera said he was "done." He explained that he had long wanted to quit performing before he lost his voice, and also cited the amount of travel involved in touring. He continued that he now had to "learn how to be an out-of-work singer."

Will Peter Cetera ever reunite with Chicago?

While not saying his relationship with his former band is acrimonious, Cetera declined to attend Chicago's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and says he has no plans to reunite with the rest of the band.
