The Cars: Final Band Interview (full)
At the end August of 2000, the members of The Cars assembled at Turner Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, for an interview. It was their first public reunion in over 10 years, and sadly, it was to be their last. Benjamin Orr was dying of pancreatic cancer, and it was his wish to get everyone together. His fiancee, Julie Snider, and his good friend, Jeff Carlisi, worked with Rhino Records to sort out all of the details. The discussion was moderated by Boston journalist Brett Milano.
Immediately following the interview, Ben flew to Palmer, Alaska, where he played his last concert at the Alaska State Fair on August 25, 2000. He died less than six weeks later, on October 3, 2000.
That final interview was recorded and released as a special feature on The Cars Live DVD on October 24, 2000.
