Tony Sly died in his sleep on July 31, 2012. Riddle, Rest and Rivera played a tribute performance to Sly at the Envol & Macadam Festival in Québec City on September 8, 2012, along with the former No Use for a Name members Nassie and Koff. This was intended to be the band’s final performance, with Riddle commenting, “This is the last No Use for a Name show ever. No one wants to do this without Tony.” The band’s final show before Sly’s death had also been in Quebec, at the D-Tox Rockfest in Montebello on June 15, 2012, but they reunited twice more as No Use and Friends, for the Fat Wreck Chords 25th anniversary show in August 2015 and for Groezrock 2016 in Belgium.
