Wilson in the western film A Shot in the West, for which he wrote the theme music. In early 2008, he announced his retirement from the music industry and stated he would never perform live again. Cleminson also spent a few years living in Cyprus with partner Rachel, and it was there that he had a vision to begin writing new material which would become his latest and potentially his 'final' music project. Cleminson decided to come out of retirement in 2017 and form his own band /sin'dogs/, with keyboardist David Cowan as he approached him to co-write and collaborate on early demos of what is now their debut album titled 'Vol.1'.
