The original group ended in 1979, because Ad van de Gein was diagnosed with cancer, and was unable to perform anymore. He was replaced by Henny Langeveld. Ad van de Gein tried to claim the rights for the name 'Cocktail Trio' in 1982, but failed. The group disbanded in 1985 with the death of original member Tonny More. In the last few years the remaining members of the group, including a recovered Ad van de Gein, have performed on occasion for a few times. Read more on Last.fm.
