After breaking up the band, Fridaxon focused on her solo career and released a fair number of solo albums.

In recent years she suffered from a precarious health condition after falling and being hit in the head and as a result of the tests it became clear that she was suffering from a cancerous tumor. As a result of the illness, the singer dealt with brain damage that accompanied her until her last day.
