For example, a band like Joy Division. Two masterpiece albums in the form of Unknown Pleasures and Closer, and the untimely death of Ian Curtis cut it all short. They were even heading into the direction that New Order eventually went in, and it would have been interesting to see what Ian Curtis would have done if they fully made the leap into electronic music while he was still alive.

Probably not very well known compared to others I see here, but I was a huge fan of the band Girls when they released there first album in 2009, an EP in 2010, and finally the last album in 2011. I got to see them play either in 2011 or 2012 which I am still happy I did to this day. They broke up in 2012 after playing a festival and that was it. From my understanding the lead singer didn't want to continue and then pursued another project a few years later, which was absolutely awful if you ask me. He also was known to get into bad patches of drug use and dissappear for periods of time. In 2020 his long time friend and band member of Girls died. He had another side project that didn't take off (but does sound better than the first) and now I have no idea what he is doing. At this point I doubt the band will ever get back together from the sounds of it, especially since one of the members died.
