And it hardly unusual for rock groups to break up over some dispute or just from a lack of interest in the hassles of concerts and so on, especially when they have more money than they could ever spend. Not that it means much of anything, but it was probably John Lennon's fascination with Yoko Ono (who introduced him to heroin) that led to the breakup of the Beatles: http://www.beethovenmc.com/htmls/biography/foreign/l/lennon.htm So John Lennon was better off with Yoko and heroin than MMY and TM?
