Have we all forgotten that Fish had (by prog standards) a rather abundant solo career? Though I don't know much of his life, I bet he got sober quite soon after being given the boot. I bet Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors deals a lot with this subject, though I haven't looked into the lyrics much. I think he got his life in order by the time Internal Exile came out.

    Welcome to the prog therapy thread of the association of armchair psycholigists stonebeard.

Vigil, I Think deals with the "booting" and the disillusionment he felt afterwards more than anything else.

I don't know for sure, but I imagine he must have it under control. I know he's done some acting in the past few years and he releases music and tours with some regularity. It all points to recovery or at least to increased self-control. Maybe having kids got to him. that happens sometimes

The liner notes from the remastered Clutching At Straws seems to indicate that the group had divided into two camps, with the other four musicians in one group, and Fish and the roadies/friends in another.
 
But then again, Fish's personality and personal development lended itself to him doing his own thing (too much to fit into 1/5 of the band's space).
 
He's done fine since, with fantastic solo albums such as Internal Exile, Suits, and Sunsets on Empire, which sound more like classic Marillion than the Hogarth-era Marillion.
 
Fish has maintained his integrity, while his ex-bandmates have floundered around a bit over the years...

Hey, I resent that a little (very little actually ) I was speaking from experience.

Whatever your credentials may (or may not) be, it is interesting to discuss these kind of human dynamics.
