Band Members Perform Eslpod Famous Rock Breakups Musicians

Many famous "rock banks" (groups of musicians who perform rock-and-roll music" have "devoted" (with strong commitment and enthusiasm) "fans" (people who like something very much) who "mourn" (feel very sad about a loss or death) their "breakups" (when a band breaks apart so that the members no longer perform together) and "celebrate" (are very happy about) their "reunions" (when the former members of a band perform together again after many years).

Many bands break up because the musicians are "overworked" (have worked too hard) and too "stressed out" (with feelings of anxiety and worry). That is what happened to The Eagles, a popular band in the 1970s. After years of "constant" (without stopping; without breaks) "recording" (making new music) and "touring" (traveling to many places to give concerts), the band members had "frayed nerves" (a lot of anxiety) and had trouble "getting along" (maintaining friendly relationships). "Everything fell apart" (problems began) in July 1980 at a concert where one of the band members "insulted" (said something that hurt someone's feelings) a "Senator" (an elected representative in the government). Another band member became upset, they argued, and the band broke up. However, the performers "reunited" (came back together again) in the 1990s and released new "albums" (collections of recorded music).

Other bands have more "complex" (complicated; not clear, simple, or straightforward) reasons for breaking up. Van Halen was a popular rock band in the late 1970s, but the band is "widely known" (known by many people) for its "dramatic" (with a lot of emotion) breakup. The band "repeatedly" (many times) changed its singers and "bassists" (people who play the bass guitar) in a "series" (a group of events that happen over time) of "ugly" (not friendly or peaceful) breakups in which the members "cited" (referred to) different reasons for leaving.
