Career
Along with partner Susan Hoover, Latimer relocated to America where
they established a music production company named Camel Productions to
release Camel's new studio albums: Dust and Dreams (1991), Harbour of Tears (1996), Rajaz (1999) and A Nod and a Wink
(2002) as well as a host of "Official Bootlegs" on CD. The band went
on the road in 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2003. They released their
first full concert DVD in 1997 titled Coming of Age which began a series
of subsequent DVD releases. In mid-2006, Latimer and Hoover returned to
the UK and established Camel Productions UK Ltd.
In May 2007, Hoover announced through the Camel Productions website and newsletter that Latimer had suffered from a progressive blood disorder polycythaemia vera since 1992, which had unexpectedly progressed to myelofibrosis. In November 2007, he underwent a successful bone marrow transplant and began a long road to full recovery.
In October 2013, Latimer took Camel back to centre stage. To celebrate the occasion, Camel played The Snow Goose
in its entirety for the first set and dedicated it to the co-founding
band members Andy Ward, Peter Bardens (deceased) and Doug Ferguson.
Additionally, Camel had re-recorded the album earlier in the year. The
re-recording remains faithful to the original, but includes some minor
rearrangements and some extended sections. A live DVD, titled In From
The Cold, was recorded at the Barbican Centre London. The Snow Goose
tour had been a complete sellout and the band was asked to continue in
early 2014. However, the second half of the tour featured Ton
Scherpenzeel (Kayak) as keyboardist Guy Leblanc had become seriously
ill, subsequently passing away on 27 April 2015.
Despite being troubled by arthritis in his hands and knees,
Latimer took Camel back on the road in 2015. In 2016 they toured Japan
with new keyboardist Pete Jones and in 2018 Camel toured extensively
featuring their most popular recording Moonmadness.
The 2018 tour culminated with the band's return to The Royal Albert
Hall to a sellout crowd. The performance was video recorded for
anticipated release on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Em 1991 Latimer criou a gravadora Camel Productions, que lançou os álbuns mais recentes da banda: Dust And Dreams (1991), Harbour Of Tears (1996), Rajaz (1999) e A Nod And a Wink (2002).
Em maio de 2007, Susan Hoover, esposa de Latimer, anunciou através do site Camel Productions que Latimer sofria, desde 1992, de policitemia vera, uma doença sanguínea, e que mais tarde evoluiu para mielofibrose. Isso foi parte da razão pela qual os Camel deixaram de fazer uma extensa turnê. No final de 2007 fez um transplante de medula óssea.
Em setembro de 2008 foi finalmente para casa para recuperar as suas
forças, considerando a possibilidade de uma turnê em menor escala no
futuro. As últimas notícias sobre Latimer vem através de um blog de David Minasian, que já dirigiu várias produções de vídeo de Camel ao longo dos anos. Minasian lançou o seu álbum, Random Acts of Beauty,
em agosto de 2010. A saúde de Latimer progrediu tanto que ele
contribuiu em solos de guitarra e vocais para a faixa de abertura do
álbum, "Masquerade".
