Byran Adams has gone on to lead an incredibly successful career, producing huge hits such as '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You', 'Heaven' and, of course, 'Summer Of '69'. Madness toured the UK throughout November and December 2010 with their final show at London's Earl's Court, where they played a new song from their upcoming album. However, two concerts, in Hull and Sheffield, were cancelled due to heavy snowfall, although they were later rescheduled for 5 and 6 February 2011 respectively. The album is notable for featuring guest performers including the Specials' Jerry Dammers, early Madness member John Hasler and Earl Falconer of UB40. It is also the first studio album produced by the band themselves under the alias 'The Three Eyes'. I enjoy performing more than I did. When I was a kid, the adrenaline… and the [amphetamine] sulphate… meant it was a blur of sweat and arms and legs and hats going in the air. You’re not completely aware of what’s happening. Now I look and see the audience really digging what we do. That’s an amazing thing. We’ve had 20 top 10 hits. It’s such an ephemeral thing, pop music, just three minutes, but those songs are your first snog, your first fight, your first fag. INXS have won numerous awards throughout their career including two BRIT Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards, six ASCAP Pop Music Awards, and six ARIA Awards. The group also received the ARIA Outstanding Achievement Award in 1989 and were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001.

In 1986, Madness announced that they were going to split, because of 'musical differences'. They recorded a farewell single '(Waiting For) The Ghost Train'. Two years later, Suggs, Chas Smash, Kix and Chrissy Boy formed a new band named The Madness. They lasted for one album before splitting. The Madness is the only studio album by the British ska/ pop band The Madness, a short-lived incarnation of Madness. It was originally released in mid-1988, on the label Virgin. The album was produced by the Three Eyes, a pseudonym, whose identities remain a mystery (although they may very well be Madness themselves, or individual members of Madness). With the demise of Madness and the group's own label Zarjazz, the Madness were directly recruited under Virgin Records. On 22 March 2013, the band performed outside the BBC Television Centre in a live broadcast for BBC Four. This was followed by Goodbye Television Centre, a celebration of 50 years of the television centre, marking the closure of the building and the last show to be broadcast from it. [58] Following that the band was the closing act to the new year celebration of 2014 in Dublin, Ireland.

The band announced their new studio album Can't Touch Us Now in May 2016. In support of the album, the band played the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in June. [60] Lead single "Mr. Apples" was accompanied by a scripted video (first one since 2009) and A-listed by BBC Radio 2. [61] The song "Herbert" was released as a taster accompanied by an animation video. [62] Further singles "Can't Touch Us Now" and "Another Version of Me" were also playlisted by BBC Radio 2. The album itself entered the UK Albums Chart at number 5 in November 2016. [63] The band finished the year on a UK arena tour in December. [64] The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and many online discographies consider this band to be the same as "Madness". Several of the songs on the album ("4BF", "Be Good Boy", "Gabriels Horn", "In Wonder") were reworked songs from the cancelled 1986 Madness studio album and had been performed live or demoed in 1986 before the band broke up. Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman also alluded to this view on their sole studio album Crunch! (1990), which was dedicated to "the good ship Madness and all who sailed in her (1979 to 1989)".
