The group went through many lineup changes but remained active until Smith's death on 24 January 2018, at which point the band included bassist Dave "The Eagle" Spurr (since 2006), guitarist Peter "PP" Greenway, drummer Keiron Melling (both since 2007) and keyboardist Michael Clapham (who joined for the band's final tour in 2017).<ref name="Bio Page 1">{{Cite web |title=Group Members, Guests and Producers (A-Z) - Page 1 |url=https://thefall.org/biography/biography.html |access-date=7 August 2023 |website=The Fall Online}}</ref><ref name="Bio Page 2">{{Cite web |title=Group Members, Guests and Producers (A-Z) - Page 2 |url=https://thefall.org/biography/biography2.html |access-date=7 August 2023 |website=The Fall Online}}</ref>
