Most Successful Bands Who Survived Losing a Member

The reason bands become successful will usually be a combination of their talent and their likability. Losing a member can be a huge blow to a band whose fame (and usually fortune) are based on the group as a whole. Many groups have simply split up or suffered failing careers after losing a member but other have gone on to have the same, if not more success. Take a look at these bands who have successfully survived the loss of a band member.

8. Queen

Queen was fronted by one of the most unique and talented men in music. It was a tragedy when Freddie Mercury died at age 45 and it would have been understandable if the band had chosen to hang up their guitars. Instead the remaining members Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon continued and played numerous concerts with guest lead singers.

More recently Queen have lost another member with bassist Deason deciding to call it a day. Losing two members still hasn’t managed to stop Queen, who have recently toured with Adam Lambert. Lambert has not become an official Queen member but apparently the remaining members are open to the idea and would be keen to record new music with him.
