It was do the the health of George Younce that caused this group to decide to do a farewell tour but it would be Glen Payne that would go home first. After they had started their farewell tour Glen would be diagnosed with liver cancer and it took his life before the tour was over. The Cathedrals finished the tour with Roger Bennett taking the lead. Shortly after they disbanded George would go home to be with the Lord himself but not before forming another group called the Old Friends Quartet.
The other members of the Cathedrals from their final group are Ernie Hasse who went on to start a solo career then later formed Ernie Hasse and Signature Sound. Ernie is also married to the daughter of George Younce. Scott Fowler and Roger Bennett started Legacy Five where Scott took on the lead and Roger played piano. Roger lost his long fight with leukemia on February 17, 2008.
