Breakups, sometimes they're just inevitable. Nothing lasts forever, and unfortunately this rule can apply to your favorite bands too. Groups ranging in genre and time period from the Beatles to *NSYNC have done it. The question I would like to pose is what happens to everyone afterword? There are often the one or two people who emerge as big stars in their post band career such as Justin Timberlake from the previously mentioned example. But what I always wondered about was those members you seem to have never heard from again. Think about JC Chasez from *NSYNC, he had a solo career as a singer but was outshined by Justin Timberlake. Press on his new songs was diminished after Justin Timberlake went through his Super Bowl scandal. Also, he apparently attempted to get a seat on a Russian space shuttle, and was very close, however his sponsor dropped out and he could not acquire the seat. This all may seem inferior to two Grammys, a number one single, deals with McDonalds, several movie roles and more, but if you think about it, who really got the upper hand? On the one side, Justin got a very successful singing career, but JC, due to his less successful singing career, had the time to pursue his other dreams. So I ask you, who would you rather be if you wildly successful band broke up? The one who continues to be a star or the one who gets a chance to start over?
