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.

Get the band jobmug. The New York Hardcore band known as PUNCHYOURFACE, from Long Island is widely known as New York's most dangerous band. This is based on what goes on during their live shows including but not limited to past shootings, security with metal detectors, off duty cops and undercover cops hired for security. PUNCHYOURFACE fan's are often times told not to "mosh" meanwhile its allowed during every other band.
Example: "PUNCHYOURFACE, New York's most dangerous band, only played 1:30secs before a brawl broke out that shutdown The Redzone permanently."
