No More Burden

Sometime ago, a popular band (PB) created a stir when rumors flew about its impending disbandment. Fans could not believe the rumor as the band was one of the most successful ever in the rock scene. The members of the band all came from other groups that had earlier disbanded. Hence, fans thought PB would never suffer the same fate. The disbandment came quickly and its legions of fans were in  shock for a time until it was officially confirmed that the members had indeed gone separate ways.

What gives? Was it too much fame? Was it money? Was it women? Until the very end, no one admitted nor confirmed the reason why the lead singer (LS) just decided to call it quits. LS himself has an interesting history in the music scene. He was originally the lead singer of another band and for a time, he quit and disappeared from the scene. As to why LS initially disappeared, well, he was young and fame and temptation were all around him. Rumors had it that he had to “clean up his act.” He then resurrected his career and became more popular with PB. His songs became more meaningful, and he his performance had soul that made his fans love him more.

This time, LS is too passionate and dedicated with performing that nothing can no longer stand in the way of his career. When he was yet with the PB, he got too tired of the lack of discipline of his fellow members. One member (OM) would bring his groupie to the gigs of the band. Even while they had engagements, OM would disappear and hide in the comfort room to take a hit. There were times when the others were obviously high on something. On the other hand,  no one could sway LS to the darker side of rock. Eventually, LS could no longer restrain his band mates, he called it quits and dropped them. LS walked away cleanly and went solo. Now, he enjoys as much fame and no longer has the burden of worrying over band mates who seems to be misdirected. LS has found his niche and he wants to keep it that way.
