The Guys ’n’ Dolls group broke up in 1985, after which Grant and Forsyth formed a duo. They had a few more country song hits in the years that followed. Forsyth also wrote and composed the song ’Go’ for Scottish singer Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald took second place in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, behind winner Céline Dion after a very exciting scoring with only one point difference. In 1989, Forsyth and Grant married. In 2011, Grant & Forsyth celebrated their 25th anniversary. They lived in Hollandsche Rading for several years. Dominic Grant died in November 2020 at the age of 71 from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
