    I think the Travelling Wilburys fall into this category.

    Not sure. Just a bunch of guys coming together to have some fun - Dylan, Harrison, Petty, Orbison and Lynne all continued their own successful careers, and then of course the Big O died. The second album with just the four was not great and that was it.

    My beautiful wife and I walked down the aisle and out of the church at our wedding to the organist playing A Whiter Shade of Pale :)

    I bought a guitar off one of them years back, not sure they were short-lived, I think they did something like 4 albums

    Viola Beach are a genuine tragedy and loss to British music. I got recommended their album by a mate, listened to it on loop for about 3 days to and from work and was frantically googling what shows they were playing and found out they were all killed in a car accident in Sweden, I then realised it was these guys Chris Martin and Coldplay did a tribute to at Glastonbury. Hugely ignorant on my part and parking for a second the tragedy of those young men all losing their life at the same time, a massive loss to music. Their album was a genuine good un and that's something I say rarely

    Saw a documentary last night about one of my favourite bands -Badfinger
    Produced a few great singles - namely -Come and get it,No matter what and day after day.
    Unfortunately like a lot of bands were badly managed.
    Tragically two of the group Pete Ham and Tom Evans both committed suicide.
    Ironically one song they wrote but not released as a single by them -Without you went on to become a Multi million seller covered by both Nilsson and Mariah Carey.
    As I said -Great band but short lived

    Never knew that, always thought Nilsson wrote it !

    On the basis of this Snub tv performance (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UEuu0A_LdbE) I bought the Gutted EP, their two LPs and saw them live supporting the Lemonheads on one occasion and the Pale Saints on another. Superb.
