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)

End of the line

When a girl moans so loud that she starts squirting cum from her Pussy. Shen then raps her arms around your dick then pulls her head into your ass hole and chockes on your shit.

Suspense ending

This ending is usually a longer note, or sometimes a tremolo, depending on what, but plays a diminished chord or a other cord, that makes discord
The suspense ending is sometimes called the diminish ending
