** There was also a posthumous album of unfinished solo material that was released in 2009 and was finished with contributions from many artists, including [[Missy Elliot]], [[Chamillionaire]] and the remaining members of TLC, T-boz and Chili, as well as Left Eye's sister Reigndrop.
* Mark Linkous, leader/only constant member of cult indie rock band [[Sparklehorse]], had dealt with depression for most of his life and had notably attempted suicide in 1996 while his band was touring as [[Radiohead]]'s opening act. That suicide attempt caused damage to his legs which never quite heeled. Linkous eventually took his own life in 2010, shortly before the wide release of his ''Dark Night of the Soul'' collaboration with Danger Mouse and [[David Lynch]]. Another project, Sparklehorse's fifth album, was left in a near-complete state after his death and has not yet seen the light of day.
* [[The B-52's|The B 52s]] began recording their ''Bouncing Off The Satellites'' album in 1985. The album was originally recorded early in thisthat year, but the record company rejected this version. The band starting rerecording the album with producer Tony Mansfield. Unfortunately, guitarist Ricky Wilson died during the sessions for the second version of the album, which meant that the songs he hadn't recorded parts for had to be overdubbed by session musicians. They were so short on material that one of the songs on the album (Juicy Jungle) is an outtake from Fred Schneider's 1984 solo album. Whilst ''Bouncing Off The Satellites'' and several singles from it were released in 1986, the remaining band members were too upset due to Ricky's death to tour or promote it. Luckily, it got better - drummer Keith took Ricky's place on guitar in 1988 and they started recording new material. They have been together ever since.
* The sudden death of Peter Christopherson in November 2010 put an end to [[Throbbing Gristle]].
* Bradley Nowell, the singer, songwriter and guitarist for [[Sublime]] died a few months before the release of his band's breakout third album. This meant their label had a hit album, no band to send out on tour and no chance for a follow up album. Instead, the surviving two members and Brad's dog Louie starred in a series of music videos released for each of the three singles released for the album. The label proceeded to fulfill the rest of the band's record deal with an continuous (and morbid) series of rarity and greatest hits albums that continue to be released to this day. The two other members went on to a series of other bands of varying success before reforming as Sublime with Rome, which is legally not the same thing as Sublime due to Nowell's estate owning the copyright on the name.
