Rare Bands Stay Together

Both amateur and professional bands that have stayed together for a long time are a rarity today. Most bands would stay together for a year or two, only to part ways just when they are at the top.
It makes you wonder if this is because they have already achieved something or that they want more personal glory. For most, the latter is the better answer as they want to hog the limelight and be a star. Some have succeeded while others have not. But as far as differentiating a star from a band is concerned, there is a big difference, especially if attention is what they want.
