Deacon Blue released their fourth album, ''[[Whatever You Say, Say Nothing]]'', in 1993. Following Vipond's decision to quit the group in favour of a career in television, the band split up in 1994.

The band released another album, ''[[Homesick (Deacon Blue album)|Homesick]]'', in 2001. Graeme Kelling died of [[pancreatic cancer]] in 2004; the band has continued to record and perform, and 2006 saw them returning to the studio to record three new tracks for a ''[[Singles (Deacon Blue album)|Singles]]'' album — including the track "[[Bigger than Dynamite]]".
