Editing Dexys Midnight Runners (section)

====Touring and more turnover====
With Paterson and Billingham's departures, the core of Dexys became Rowland, Adams, and O'Hara. In September, touring behind the hit album, Dexys embarked on ''The Bridge'' tour.<ref name="bio" />  On 10 October 1982, the Dexys performance at the [[Shaftesbury Theatre]] in London was recorded by [[Steve Barron]] and then released on [[videodisk]] and [[videocassette]] (and later DVD) as an edited 9-song set also entitled ''The Bridge''.

Rowland, Adams and O'Hara jointly wrote the band's next single, "Let's Get This Straight (From the Start)" (with O'Hara also contributing piano on the recording along with Billingham). At the start of 1983, Robert "Bob" Noble replaced Billingham on keyboards and Kilkenny was replaced by [[John Edwards (musician)|John "Rhino" Edwards]] on bass.<ref name="bio" /> Dexys finally toured the U.S. in 1983, and continued to tour through that summer. However, the major success of ''Too-Rye-Ay'' became a problem for Rowland, who said in 1999 that "I was fairly comfortable being the outsider knocking on the door [but] once the door opened and I stepped inside, I was completely lost" and that he went into "complete self-destruct mode".<ref name="Wilde" /> Rowland and O'Hara also began a personal relationship during the U.S. tour; in Rowland's words, he was "obsessed with her but not enjoying the band".<ref name="2014int" />
