Gang of Four's original line-up reunited in 2005, with Burnham telling Rolling Stone "It would be folly to go out and try to foist new music on people... What resonates is the old stuff, and we need to go out and do that. After all, the crux of it is the four of us onstage playing, making loud rude noises and running around furiously." He also told the New York Times' Jon Pareles, "I knew we could do it, when I saw we all still had our hair."
He spent 2005 and 2006 making those loud rude noises and won (with the band) Mojo magazine's " Inspiration to Music" and the U "LifeTime achievement in Music" awards. He last performed with the band in December 2006 at All Tomorrow's Parties at Minehead in England.[3] Burnham along with Dave Allen left the band again in 2008, intending to focus on his studies and work as an academic.[4][5]
Burnham completed his master's degree in Education from Cambridge College in 2006. He was an associate professor at the New England Institute of Art in Boston from 2000 until 2015, when he became Dean of Student Affairs, before leaving the college in October 2016. He was an Affiliated faculty member in the Communications Department at Emerson College in Boston, MA during 2018. He is currently Assistant Professor and Internship Faculty for The School of Performing & Visual Arts at Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. He has re-joined Gang of Four to tour with fellow founder, Jon King and former bassist, Sara Lee with new member, renowned guitarist David Pajo in 2022.
