In late 2014, the band went on a hiatus. Aaron Lewis continued to play solo shows and work on his next solo album. He also confirmed that the hiatus would last "for a while". Mike Mushok teamed up with former [[Three Days Grace]] singer [[Adam Gontier]], former [[Finger Eleven]] drummer Rich Beddoe, and [[Eye Empire]] bassist [[Corey Lowery]] to form [[Saint Asonia]].

On August 4, 2017, the band performed for the first time since November 2014 for an acoustic performance at Aaron Lewis' 6th annual charity golf tournament and concert when bassist Johnny April and drummer Sal Giancarelli joined Aaron Lewis and Mike Mushok to perform "Outside", "Something to Remind You", and "It's Been Awhile".<ref>{{cite web|title=Staind Reunion and Tributes to Chris Cornell + Chester Bennington Highlight Aaron Lewis' Charity Show|date=August 4, 2017|publisher=Loudwire.com|url=http://loudwire.com/staind-reunion-tributes-chris-cornell-chester-bennington-aaron-lewis-charity-show/|access-date=August 4, 2017}}</ref> Three days later, Lewis announced that Staind would never tour extensively again,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/staind-stay-tuned-video-teaser/|title=Staind Share Cryptic Video Teaser Clip|first=Joe|last=DiVita|website=Loudwire.com|date=April 6, 2019 }}</ref> with Lewis explaining:

{{quote|The touring machine, as you call it, of Staind will never be again. Not like that, no. Never. I could never go back to playing six shows [a week] eight weeks in a row. I can't do that. I have grown in my age and become very accustomed to playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday and being able to go home for a few days and unwind and try to kind of have a life aside from doing this.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/staind-stay-tuned-video-teaser/|title=Staind Share Cryptic Video Teaser Clip|website=Loudwire.com|date=April 6, 2019 |access-date=6 October 2020}}</ref>}}
