The band went through multiple line up changes over the years, with members leaving, rejoining and leaving again, as well as periods of complete dormancy while Way pursued other projects.[1] The band split up in 1987,[1] but then reformed in 2003.
In 2008, Waysted toured the UK in support of its then new album The Harsh Reality. However, the outfit has not released any new material since that time.[2]
Way died on 14 August 2020 from injuries sustained in an accident.
