=== Reformation and the 1990s ===
After Reid and Brooker teamed up to write once again in late 1989, the band reformed in 1991, with Brooker, Fisher, Trower and Reid (Wilson had died in 1990 after three years in a [[persistent vegetative state]] following a drug overdose) and released ''[[The Prodigal Stranger]]'', but sales were modest.<ref name="Roberts"/> After the album's release, a new incarnation of the band, with Brooker and Fisher but not Trower, toured the US and the world for a few years in the first half of the 1990s. [[Tim Renwick]] took over on guitar, with Dave Bronze on bass and [[Mark Brzezicki]] on drums.<ref name="Strong"/> Renwick was replaced later in the year by [[Geoff Whitehorn]].<ref>{{harvnb|Scott-Irvine|2012|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=0DMDAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT264 264]}}</ref>

After a tour which spawned ''One More Time: Live in Utrecht 1992'', Fisher briefly stepped away from the band to focus on studying for a degree, with [[Don Snow]] temporarily taking over for a summer tour.<ref name="snow">{{harvnb|Scott-Irvine|2012|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=0DMDAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT270 270]}}</ref> [[Laurence Cottle]] substituted for Bronze, who was performing with [[the Hamsters]], at a show in August.<ref name="cottle">{{cite web |url=https://procolharum.com/procollc.htm |title=Laurence Cottle |publisher=Procol Harum: Beyond the Pale |accessdate=8 August 2019 }}</ref>
