According to Mike Monroe and Andy McCoy, the band has reached its full potential now and has gone as far as it will ever go. The band will play their farewell tour in Japan and end their career with a gig in Tavastia, Helsinki where they originally started playing. In October 2008, the band announced that they will be splitting up for good in spring, 2009. This was featured on the album 'Street Poetry', which was released early September 2007. On the 8th of August, a the single 'This One's For Rock'n'Roll' was released to be downloaded from selected sites. The single "Fashion", released in May, went straight to #1 in the Finnish singles chart. Suicide and Yaffa have appeared onstage with the reformed Hanoi although not at the same time.

The album had just been released when disaster struck in December of that same year: Razzle was killed in a car accident (the driver was Vince Neil, singer with the band Mötley Crüe). They recorded their fifth album in January 1984 with producer Bob Ezrin in his home town Toronto.
In 1983 the band signed to CBS Records and appeared to be on the cusp of gaining commercial acceptance. In Finland, however, Hanoi Rocks is known as the Finnish rock band who at their time had come closest to real international fame, only much later giving way to such groups as HIM. The re-release of Hanoi Rocks' albums on CD was in large part due to efforts by Guns N' Roses via their own record label UZI Suicide. They have been cited as an influence by major bands such as Guns N' Roses and Manic Street Preachers. Later that year Casino was fired and replaced by Razzle (Nicholas Dingley).Īlthough the band never gained significant commercial success, they have a considerable cult following and critical acclaim for their 'sleazy' yet melodic style of music. In 1981 they moved to Stockholm and in 1982 to London to take advantage of the livelier music scene in these cities. The following year Piesnack, Sirola and Nedo were replaced by guitar player Andy McCoy (Antti Hulkko), bass player Sam Yaffa (Sami Takamäki) and drummer Gyp Casino (Jesper Sporre). Hanoi Rocks was formed in Helsinki in 1979 and the first line-up included vocalist and saxophone player Michael Monroe (Matti Fagerholm), guitar player Nasty Suicide (Jan Stenfors), guitar player Stefan Piesnack, bass player Nedo and drummer Peki Sirola. Although their album sales are strong, they are more widely known for their energetic live performances.

They were also one of the first rock bands to tour in Asia, and were the first western rock band to play in Delhi. In the 80s, Hanoi Rocks were the most successful Finnish band internationally and are still popular in the United States, Japan, and the UK. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish glam rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s.
