SO SAD: Drummer Ringo Starr Officially Announce To Leave The Beatles Due To.
We’ve seen it too many times to count: a group of talented young musicians come together with big dreams and great songs, breaking big but never being able to sustain it.
Rare groups like U2 or The Rolling Stones can keep the partnerships together for extended periods of time, but more often than not, a band will stop making hits or someone will want to go out solo or the members can’t stand each other anymore, forcing the group to dissolve or go on the dreaded “indefinite hiatus.”
Yet if we’re lucky, the cards might be just right for things to realign. Maybe some hatchets are buried, an anniversary reunion tour brings people out of hiding, or the love of music (and royalties) clears up all the bad blood. No matter the case, here are the extraordinary tales of bands who reunited after breaking up in a big way.
In the world of K-pop, male idol groups must always be mindful of the government statute that requires every South Korean male to serve in the military for at least two years.
As this must be completed before a certain age, sometimes groups will promote a record while certain members are absent, or all the members will volunteer to go at a similar time.
Upon return, the remaining quartet planned to continue and envisioned a 2020 reunion at Coachella before COVID-19 upended their plans.
For some, the 2018 revelation that Canadian post-rock icons Frog Eyes were breaking up was devastating (especially for the writers at Cokemachineglow).
Regardless of the circumstances for both the breakup and rebirth, it’s clear that the loyalty of the Frog Eyes fandom has been richly rewarded.
Yet while recording a new album, the group announced in 2013 that they were heading their separate ways, Way indicating because they had too many disagreements.
Yet in 2019, the group announced a reunion show and revealed they had been working as a unit a full two years prior.
Yet when 1996’s “Beats, Rhymes and Life” dropped, Phife Dawg noted how members Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Q-Tip converting to Islam left him feeling like an outsider when it came to determining the group’s sound.
With a literal who’s-who of rap superstars coming in to help complete the vision of the record, “We Got It from Here…
Yet that “classic lineup” of Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, and Kathy Valentine was full of strong personalities, and by the time 1984’s “Talk Show” hit, the group was in constant conflict with each other.
The group, somewhat amazingly, has reunited and broken up a few times over now, going on two different farewell tours while members came, went, sued the band, and then rejoined.
Following the group’s opening slot for a U2 tour in 1992, coupled with the fact that the band’s output was increasingly becoming a showcase for frontman Black Francis and no one else, the group disbanded, with Francis infamously informing members Kim Deal and Dave Lovering of the news via fax.
The tour was lucrative enough that they kept making festival appearances and doing album-oriented anniversary runs around the country.
None of their projects proved successful, and after singer Patrick Stump put out a blog post detailing the cruel comments he received from fans as he tried to go solo, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz reached out with empathy.
“Save Rock and Roll” was a commercial and critical comeback for the group, who has put out two more studio full-lengths since then, each topping the U.S. charts. Guess they really did save rock and roll after all …
His first new venture, a more pop-rock-minded group called Zwan, fractured quickly as members weren’t taking it as seriously as he would like.
Everyone else was a new hire, and the albums the “nu-Pumpkins” put out didn’t strike fans in the same way as their peak ’90s output.
