confirmed by Bourne on a tweet in November 2020. He stated 'In the background I was being heavily sued in the high court of justice for the rights to all the Busted songs. I left the band to give my undivided attention to fighting this case which after 4 years I won. Then I started trying to bring my music career back to life.' Post-split, Bourne would go on to join pop-rock supergroup McBusted before rejoining Busted in 2015. Steve Rushton began a solo career in the US, contributing to soundtracks to films Hannah Montana: The Movie, G-Force and Race To Witch Mountain. He also provided the theme song to The Suite Life on Deck. On the possibility of a reunion, Bourne stated in an interview that if he was to reform Son of Dork he would only bring back the members who wanted to come back. There was a reunion of sorts when Steve Rushton, Chris Leonard and James Bourne, along with the Welsh duo Lilygreen & Maguire, all recorded a cover of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror". In 2019, Bourne stated he'd had ideas for a Son of Dork concept album.
