Post-Genesis
Little was known of Mayhew's whereabouts following his departure from Genesis. His Trespass royalty cheques had gone unclaimed, and there was speculation that he was deceased or missing. In 1982, he moved to Australia, where he found work as a carpenter. In 1989, he briefly returned to England to visit his ailing mother.
In 2006, he attended a Genesis convention in London (along with Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett), and played drums for a tribute band's performance of "The Knife".
