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)

Octopus death

Suicide by octopus, like something out of a movie.

The girl brought a blue ringed octopus to her hotel in a fish tank and put it in the bath tub with her, but the good news is that she was an organ donor, and she had donated 7 organs to seven different strangers after she had determined whether or not they were worthy of her organ donations/transplants. She had a guilt complex about killing her husband in a car accident while distracted by a cell phone call. Had she been a fugitive from the law, she most likely wouldn't have time to feel guilty, but since his death looked like an accident, she had time not only to develop a guilt complex, but to pick and choose seven strangers as candidates for organ transplants after her premeditated suicide. Her octopus death was one of the more interesting ways to die that investigators or medical examiners had ever seen.
