On March 17, 2004, Lowen was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Because of compromises to his playing and singing, Lowen & Navarro ceased touring. They played their last shows on June 5, 2009, at the Ramshead in Annapolis, Maryland, and on June 6, 2009, at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia.

Navarro continues to tour as a solo performer. He is the cousin of guitarist Dave Navarro, who has played with Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction, among other groups.
