After the breakup, Ian Hunter did some solo work and later performed "All the Young Dudes" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with David Bowie and the surviving members of [[Queen]], while lead guitarist Mick Ralphs joined the [[Supergroup]] [[Bad Company]]. While their success was relatively short-lived, Mott the Hoople managed to be fairly influential; David Bowie, as has been mentioned, was a huge fan of the group, while Queen did their first American tour as their support act (inspiring the song "Now I'm Here").
