Music groups do not stay together forever and ever. They quarrel among

would be better off going solo. If these things do not happen first then they
will surely start thinking of other things once the albums stop selling and the
gigs become few and far between. And take note, all of these things can happen
to even the best, the brightest and the closest of friends.

But there is really no need anymore for fans to despair that their favorite
band has broken up.
