Band breakups surely hurt more than heartbreak. But band breakups are quite common in the music industry. Now you must be thinking, why do these bands break up?

Well, when bands start out, their common motivation is a group of friends trying to make their mark on the world of music to gain a little fame and a few fans. However, once they are established and become famous, their goals tend to change massively. Some members might be content with where they stand but others might want to diversify and try out other approaches, such as their solo music career. When this happens, a band breakup is the only solution for members to pursue their interests.

Many music fans know that most bands are hardly going to reunite, but still, they wish for their soul-stirring reunion. The good thing is sometimes those bands we love do reunite for music festivals or a tour. A band reunion is undoubtedly an exuberant celebration for music fans.
