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!!!)

The war to end all wars

many think this name is slightly ironic considering the great war is reponsable for most current wars but it is true that this war changed the populair view of war from heroic and noble to violent, traumatic and violent and thus in the long run may end the practice forever

The war to end all wars is a very fancy word for the great war
