MOST SHOCKING BAND BREAKUPS 

JLS

Holly: “JLS was first known as the fifth season of The X Factor UK to the winner Alexandra Burke, however, the band has been more successful than her. Their first two singles, ‘Beat Again’ and ‘Everybody in Love’, went to number one in the UK. JLS also won 2010 BRIT Awards for British Breakthrough and British Single.”

Drew: “They also attempted to break United States with their debut single ‘Everybody in Love’ and their debut EP, also titled like their debut album, ‘JLS, but both of them failed to chart.”

Holly: “JLS continued their success in the UK with their another number one singles, ‘The Club is Alive’, ‘Love You More’, and ‘She Makes Me Wanna’ featuring Dev.”

Drew: “And eventually the band decided to break-up after releasing their final album and going on their final arena tour.”

Holly: “What a shocking breakup, isn’t it?”

Drew: “Not for me.”

Holly: “Seriously?”

Drew: “We’re going to continue, but first here’s video number 59, Ke$ha – Die Young.”

The Click Five made their first recording in early 2004 after successful local touring.

After vocalist Eric Dill left the group, he was replaced by Kyle Patrick who debuted on their second album Modern Minds and Pastimes in 2007, this album wasn’t really successful in the US, but it was in the Asia, including Cambodia, Singapore, Phillipines, and Indonesia, their single ‘Jenny’ was their most successful in the Asia. Their third album, TCV, was released in Asia in 2010 and to the rest of the world in early 2011.”

Drew: “I first heard about this band when I heard ‘Jenny’ song, it’s their breakout hit in Asia, isn’t it?”

Holly: “It was.”

Holly: “However, this year, the band had announced that they officially broke up. They stated that they broke up so they may continue to focus on their individual endeavors after long hiatus. They also thanked the fans for supporting them.”

Drew: “It’s one of the amazing bands we had seen so far. But we have another shocking band breakup, two more I think.”

Drew: “My Chemical Romance was an American rock band from New Jersey, formed in 2001. The band consisted of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way. Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002.

JONAS BROTHERS

Holly: “It’s too bad that Jonas Brothers have decided to disband even before releasing their new album, they also had cancelled their tour together after releasing two comeback singles, ‘Pom Poms’ and ‘First Time’. Too bad.”

Drew: “Yeah, girls must be really disappointed with this decision. The brothers have decided to split citing creative differences.”

Holly: “Jonas Brothers were also Disney stars like Demi Lovato, thanks to Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam of course, they also star in Disney Channel Original Series, Jonas, which retitled Jonas, L.A. for the second and final season. Kevin Jonas also stars with his wife in the E! reality show, Married to Jonas.”

Drew: “It’s too bad that most of their fans, especially girls, had been anticipating their comeback tour and album.”
