...Famous Last Words..., the eighth album by progressive rock band Supertramp was released in October 1982. The album was the studio follow-up to 1979's Breakfast in America and was the last with original guitarist/ vocalist/ keyboardist Roger Hodgson.

Relations between Hodgson and Rick Davies were becoming more strained. They fought over musical, creative and personal directions daily during the recording sessions for Famous Last Words. One instance saw Hodgson wanting to dismiss the other band members whilst Davies defended their right to stay in the band.

The album was mainly recorded and mixed at Hodgson's house dubbed Unicorn Studios in Nevada City, California as he didn't want to leave his wife, his then 2-year old daughter Heidi and newborn son Andrew behind. Davies wound up recording his vocal parts at his home studio dubbed The Backyard Studios in Encino, California. Other overdubs were at Bill Schnee Recording Studios in Los Angeles.

...Famous Last Words... reached #5 on the Billboard Pop Albums Charts in 1982 and was certified Gold for sales in excess of 500,000 copies there. It also peaked at #6 in the UK where it was certified Gold for 100,000 copies sold.

A remastered CD version of the album was released on July 30, 2002 on A&M Records. The remastered CD comes with all of the original album art and the CD art features a green pair of scissors and a black background.

...Famous Last Words... also marked the first time in which songs were credited to Hodgson and Davies separately in the sleeve notes, although they were technically still credited to Rick Davies/Roger Hodgson in the liner notes.
