The next few years saw a lot of upheaval for the band with most of it surrounding Bill Berry. In 1995 on the tour to promote 'Monster' (1994) Berry collapsed on stage in Lausanne as a result of a brain aneurysm while Mills and Stipe also suffered from health problems. Despite this the quartet managed to recorded a host of new material while on the road which resulted in 1996's 'New Adventures in Hi-Fi'.
