Peter Green of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and founder of Fleetwood Mac passed away last night in his sleep
One of those rare-ish examples of a band going on to phenomenally greater success after one of its key members dropped out.
Anyone care to name some others?
Genesis
As do I--I prefer SEE EMILY PLAY to most anything done by the Floyd in the post Syd years...For me the big one is Pink Floyd -- lead guitarist, main songwriter, vocalist and most charismatic member goes bonkers, is given the boot, and five years later they're #1 in the charts and filling stadiums (stadia?) all over the world. (I'm way in the minority, but I still prefer the Barrett version.)
