Dave Hillilla on asiasta hieman erilainen näkemys ja hän on kommentoinut Powellin eroa seuraavasti:

“I am sad to announce that Don and I will no longer be working together. Our parting of the ways has not come out of the blue and his announcement is not accurate. I wish Don every success in his future efforts. I will, of course, carry on and look forward to many future performances and meeting fans.”
