Post Slade Career
When Slade split up in 1991 Don Powell owned and operated an antique import/export company before he reconvened the band as Slade II in 1993 with Dave Hill. He has remained active with various line-ups to this day and has released the albums Keep on Rockin' and Cum On Let's Party!. The name of the band was shortened back to Slade in 1997. In 2000 Powell had a small cameo role in the BBC TV version of Lorna Doone.
Powell has been married twice and for a number of years he lived in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, England. In 2004 he moved to Silkeborg, Denmark where he now lives with his Danish wife Hanna.
In December 2005, Powell appeared in the Channel 4 TV documentary Bring Back...The Christmas Number One.
Biographically Powell is detailed in the 3 Slade Biographies; Slade by George Tremlet, Slade; Feel the noize by Chris Charlesworth and Noddy Holders autobiography Who's crazee now. Holder recounts that for a while Don was a drinking buddy with Ozzy Osbourne among other gems. He is currently collaborating with Lise Lyng Falkenberg on his own biography. This is in part that because of the memory failures from his 1973 accident Powell lived from day to day by notebooks. He recalls often missing girl friend dates simply by forgetting the next day.

“A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, “Boy, where’s the post office?”

“Well, then, where might the drugstore be?”
“I don’t know.”

“Say, boy, you don’t know much, do you?”

““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
