Paul Hester returning again. In December 1999, Split Enz reunited for a fifth time to perform at the Millennium Concert in Auckland. A sixth reunion followed three years later to mark the 30th anniversary of the band's formation and live debut. On 14 July 2005, Split Enz performed at their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in Melbourne. Less than three months previously, Hester had committed suicide after "a long battle with depression". For the Hall of Fame performance, 1976–1981 Split Enz drummer Malcolm Green took his place. The same lineup returned the following June for a short tour of Australia. Another reunion tour followed in March 2008, with four shows in New Zealand featuring John Butler Trio drummer Michael Barker in place of the unavailable Green. A final one-off reunion performance (with Barker on drums) took place on 14 March 2009 as part of the Sound Relief festival. In a 2018 interview, keyboardist Eddie Rayner predicted that Split Enz would not reunite again, explaining that "Everybody's got too much going on in their lives".
