band-ending death

A sudden death of a band member (usually the lead singer) that leads to the band's permanent break up. They will decide that the member that died was irreplaceable and thus cannot go on.

Please note that there are plenty of bands, like the Rolling Stones, that carried on after the loss of a bandmate. Sometimes the surviving members form a new band, like how the surviving members of Joy Division reformed as New Order when Ian Curtis killed himself.

Queen didn't disband when Freddie Mercury passed away and John Deacon left, they just changed as a band.

The Doors was kinda this because they released two shitty albums after Jim Morrison died.
Notable band-ending deaths:
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys)
Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
The Heartbreakers (Tom Petty)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Marc Bolan (T. Rex)
Lemmy (Motorhead)
Jerry Garcia (The Grateful Dead)
Phife Dawg (A Tribe Called Quest)
Jam Master Jay (Run DMC)
Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)
Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees)
Peter Steele (Type O Negative)
Chris Cornell (Audioslave)
Dolores O'Ridoran (Cranberries)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
And most likely... Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)

The World Ends in April

A book by Stacy McAnulty that is awesome!! Your so bored that you decided to google The World Ends in April on urban dictionary since you love that book or maybe you don't know that it is a book and you typed this in March and you want the world to end in April because you ruined your entire life. But it's probably the book because nobody actually wants the world to end. So basically this book is about a girl who reads a website created by a Harvard person and it claims that an asteroid is going to hit the Earth in April and the main character, Eleanor, finds herself, and her best friend, Mack, leading the TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) club and she needs to find a way to protect her, Mack, and everyone else in the TEOTWAWKI club. Here's Google's summary: Eleanor Dross knows a thing or two about the end of the world, thanks to a survivalist grandfather who stockpiles freeze-dried food and supplies–just in case. So when she reads about a Harvard scientist's prediction that an asteroid will strike Earth in April, Eleanor knows her family will be prepared.
Person: im bored. im gonna type the best book in the world in urban dictionary. oh, someone actually decided to define this awesome book!
OR
Human Being: i totally just ruined my life and it's march so im gonna urban dictionary search the world ends in april. it's a book? cool, im gonna totally read it later. (and u should!!!)

End of 2020

On the 365th day, on the 24th hour, the 59th minute, and the 59th second of 2020, as the clock strikes twelve, a gamma ray burst from a near by super nova will make a lucky strike, perfectly searing earth, killing everyone instantly.
The ball is dropping and all you can hear are shouts and chears. Anticipation fills the streets of Times Square. TEN! All eyes on One Times Square. NINE! The chearing amplifies EIGHT! All observers now synchronously counting to one SEVEN! The shouting continues... SIX! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! Everyone unanimously wanting the End of 2020! TWO! Impending doom! ONE! Boom. The last thing you see is a instant flash of red light... Then silence... The whole world immediately, filled with peace and tranquility. Thats how 2020 will end.

Your hoe is pissed about her rear end shitsplosion you caused, so she kicked you outta the house. So you’re drivin’ in yo car and you gotta rip a nasty one. You’re stuck in traffic so you go to squeeze out some gas. You put your windows down and the smell is so potent that the driver behind you becomes incapacitated and rear ends you. Surprise surprise, out comes poo. Karma is a smelly SOB.
Ty: Yo Bro you finna finish your story bout the splosion you caused?

Biggy: Yea Bro, so my wife kicked me outta the house and I went on a drive to blow off some steam. The Taco Bell I had last week finally hit my b-hole, so I went to rip some air and it smelled horrible. Went to put my windows down cuz I couldn’t breathe and it must have flown right into the nostrils of the buhl behind me. Dude ended up rear ending me (with his car) and I was so surprised, a Rear End Shitsplosion: Part 2 took place. Guess karma got the best of me.

Ty: I envy your life.
