Band with least surviving members?

Post by Guilbert »

In Live 8 we are seeing what is left of some groups.

Only 2 of the original Who (Townsend and Daltry) and so on.

Amazingly 4 of the original Stones are still alive (assuming Keith
Richard is), 3 of Queen left, 3 of Led Zepplin, only 2 of Beatles.

But which group has had the worst survival rate ?.

Only one Ramone left, or so I'm told.

Possibly Lynryd Skynryd following the 'plane crash which killed several members of the band.

Cmon Steve, get your thinking hat on :-)

Stu Sutcliffe died YEARS ago, before the Beatles got famous.

I think you probably mean Pete Best, who is still alive.

Sorry, but not true, they only lost 2 originals.

Original group was three brothers Brian, Carl and Dennis, with
Al Jardine and Mike Love.

Dennis drowned (or killed himself by drowning, some argument
about this) quite a few years ago.

Carl died from liver cancer about 4 years ago.

Brian is still alive and released Smile album a few months ago.

Mike Love still tours as the Beach Boys (he is entitled to use the
name).

Al Jardine still tours with a 'beach boys' type group but is not allowed
to use the name.

Glen Campbell and Bruce Johnson have both appeared with the Beach
Boys in the early day and at various other times, but both are still alive.
