Strachan was killed in an air crash on 29 August 2001, when the [[helicopter]] he was learning to fly solo crashed into [[Mount Archer, Queensland (Somerset Region)|Mount Archer]] near [[Kilcoy]], northwest of [[Brisbane]]. A memorial concert was held on 11 September 2001 at the Palais Theatre, tributes were paid and some remaining members—Strauks, Macainsh, Starkie, Symons and Spencer—performed with guest vocalists [[Daryl Braithwaite]] and Wilson. It is the only time Symons and his replacement, Spencer performed together on stage. Braithwaite performed "All My Friends Are Getting Married" with the band while Wilson sang the rare Skyhooks track "Warm Wind in the City".

The 30th anniversary of the release of the ''Living in the 70's'' album was commemorated in 2004, with different incarnations of the band performing. Absent were Strachan, Hill and Inglis. Vocals were performed by Wilson, Williams and Bob Starkie. The original line-up of Skyhooks, including Hill, reformed in 2005 at the Annandale Hotel in [[Sydney]] for a one-off [[concert|gig]], a benefit for Hill, who had been diagnosed with [[liver cancer]]. The line-up of Inglis, Peter Starkie, Strauks and Macainsh joined him onstage. Hill died six weeks later. In November 2009, the "Skyhooks Tour Archive", displayed on the band's website, listed 925 live shows.

Macainsh, Starkie and Strauks appeared as Skyhooks at the 2009 [[Helpmann Awards]] in Sydney. They performed "Women in Uniform" with Australian rock icon [[Jimmy Barnes]] providing vocals. Red Symons was also slated to perform with the band, but was replaced by Diesel after withdrawing a few days before the show.
