How would the Vs. tour have played out if it continued in 1994?

Listening to some of the 93 and 94 shows the band was on fire and playing with everything they had. The Vs. tour was cut short in mid April with Kurt's death and other factors, but it has been known that the tour would have continued into the summer atleast.
With the band's intensity, Kurt's death, the tension between Ed and Dave a, fame and the ticketmaster issue growing, do you think the band would have continued on, taken a long break, broken up or some other option if they kept on going into the spring and summer of 1994?
I realize this is a hypothetical, so I am aware of that. Just trying to add some space to the board with a new topic and spark some debate.

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

it would've been an interesting tension if they would've kept going.

There was a summer leg to the vs tour. I think a valid point is whether the band would have gone from the vs tour into the Vitalogy tour. There is only about a year between vs and vitalogy's release date and the band was writing, touring and recording at the same time in 93 and 94. Those were the days!!!
If things kept on as they were in 94, I can't see the band lasting long into 1995. Just my opinion though. Mike was a mess, Eddie was fame ravaged, stone and Jeff were simply playing and Dave was in a tough spot with his role in the band. Not a good foundation for their future.

I put the word "break" in quotations as it really wasn't that long between the end of the 1994 tour and the start of the 1995 one (less than a year) - and they released an album in between. I'd bet many bands would need even more time off...these guys were troopers which indeed (deservedly) adds to their legacy.
