Aftermath
The band's first official live appearances after Lee's death was at the Reading/Leeds Festivals, which saw Grant dedicate "Quick Fade" to "absent friends". The band were invited by Melvin Benn, the owner of the festival to headline the first day of the main stage, before turning down the offer as they did not want to play such a high-placed slot so soon after Jon's death, so requested to play a much more low-key slot headlining the second stage. In 2003, frontman Grant Nicholas dedicated the band's win for "Best British Band" at the Kerrang! awards to him, calling it the award he always wanted the band to win. In 2006 the band released a singles album, entitled The Singles in which Jon features on many of the album's tracks. The album quickly became a platinum seller.
In 2006, an unreleased and incomplete 1998 recording named "Uptight" was released as a b-side on the "Lost and Found" single, with Grant Nicholas recording vocals for the track eight years after the initial 1998 recording. The song features Jon Lee on drums.
Feeder's 2012 album Generation Freakshow features the track "Hey Johnny" which is written in dedication to Jon Lee.
