Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | When a musical group loses one (or more) of its key members, such as the lead singer or a similar Face of the Band figure, it usually breaks up—but not always. Occasionally, a band tries to continue without its "face". Sometimes the group tries to replace the departed member, sometimes not. (If this happens, the new member is dismissed by fans as The Other Darrin or a Replacement Scrappy.) Either way, more often than not, the result is a Dethroning Moment of Suck, and the band rarely lasts more than one or two more albums. It can also lead to both Canon Discontinuity and Fanon Discontinuity, as performers and fans all try to forget the inferior post-face recordings ever existed. However, on rare occasions, a band gets lucky and averts the trope by attracting a new, larger audience. |
