what would be the fifth UK album, and a large collection of demos that did not make it on the debut. An odd twist of irony was that after the final gig, both Experience Electric and Hasta La Vista, Baby! were released in North America for a limited time, and unknown to the band themselves. Despite this, Skin remained inactive from 1998, until it was announced on 16 March 2009 that Skin would be playing their first live show since 1998 at the Download Festival 2009, UK. Warm up shows in London and Wolverhampton were announced, with Myke and Neville playing an acoustic set at Pontypridd Muni Hall to start it off, almost 11 years to the day that the band split up. The London show quickly sold out and a second London warm up show was added. After Skin's successful appearance at the Download Festival the band decided to reform properly. A second tour followed later in the year, along with the release of Up Close and Personal an acoustic CD album (featuring reworkings of classic Skin songs and two new tracks "Re-United" and "Redemption"), and Reunited, a DVD of their re-forming. Skin were again asked to play the Download Festival 2010 and played two sets, an acoustic set on the Saturday of the festival and an electric set on the Sunday. A new studio album Breaking The Silence was released in August 2010 exclusively through the official website to critical acclaim. The band however announced on their website that they would once again disband following a farewell tour in December 2010, though they played their last show at the High Voltage Festival in London, on 23 July 2011, alongside headliners Judas Priest, Dream Theater and Jethro Tull. Skin reformed once again supporting Little Angels on their 2012 UK tour. In February 2013, it was announced that Skin would play the Download Festival again. They were to perform on the Zippo Encore Stage on Friday 14 June, however it was announced on 28 May 2013 that Neville MacDonald had left the band for 'Personal Reasons' and Dicki Fliszar confirmed on his Facebook page that Skin had permanently disbanded. Myke Gray continued his career as studio musician and songwriter, including co-writing the Right Said Fred hit single You're My Mate, and later became a personal fitness trainer.
