When are they on tour?

In 1981, the band's third studio album, 7, reached number 5 in the UK Albums Chart and contained three hit singles: " Grey Day" (no. 4, April 1981), " Shut Up" (no. 7, September 1981), and " Cardiac Arrest" (no. 14, February 1982). [18] In an article in 1979, Chris Foreman explained that the band's music would move with the times, and change styles as time goes on. [19] This was shown to be the case, as unlike the two ska-filled, fast-paced albums that preceded it, 7 was something of a change in direction. Suggs' vocal performance changed significantly, and his strong accent from the previous studio albums had been watered down. [ citation needed] The album strayed from the ska-influenced sound of One Step Beyond... and Absolutely and moved towards a pop sound; a trend that continued with subsequent studio albums.

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.

While performing at a concert in Perth, Australia in 2012, the group announced that it would be their last show. Drummer Jon Farriss said: "Tonight is very likely to probably be the last show we ever do." A statement released also read: 'We understand that this must come as a blow to everybody, but all things must eventually come to an end. We have been performing as a band for 35 years, it's time to step away from the touring arena.'As in previous years, the band embarked on a Christmas tour of the UK (also playing one concert in Dublin), playing at various medium-sized venues. Mark Bedford took a break from the band and was replaced by Graham Bush for the tour. Only many years later did Suggs realise that being in a band might have had a therapeutic effect, after he saw a professional therapist. a b "The Madness Timeline: 1977".
