What is the recipe for a good band? Are they formed when you get a bunch of friends who want to jam out together like 5 Seconds of Summer? Or is it better to have complete strangers thrust together with a common goal in mind – perhaps on a reality show, as proved successful with Little Mix? Which origin story is conducive to a long-lasting commitment like that of bands like U2? And can a band survive if one member decides to go solo?
Apparently, there is no magic formula, but one thing is for sure — it’s not easy to stay together after a member’s departure from the pack. We may have gained some incredible solo artists, but we still miss the girl groups and boy bands that they were once a part of. Sure, sometimes these bands actually reunite after their breakups and so-called hiatuses, but sometimes it’s a very long wait.
