They could form "The Real Sugababes" if they like.

They haven't really been any good since Mutya left. Keisha solo might pull out some quality - overall it's probably a good thing.

Link or it didn't happen.

Our De Subjectivisten neighbours were pretty cut up about it though: Mutya uit de Sugababes

I'm not serious btw, so many Sugababes threads so little time.

I dont even recall a thread on their last album. Girls Aloud seemed to steal their ILM crown, and even GA aren't as popular as they were here.

four years pass...

not entirely 'no' original members as Mick Jones is still in the group, but Foreigner is a near-example.

It's not a situation like Napalm Death where the band changed lineups in the middle of their first album and gradually became a different group of players who then played together for years (RIP Jesse Pintado). it was that Gramm and Jones quit communicating and Jones wanted to resurrect Foreigner so in addition to Thom Gimbel (who'd been around since the 90s), he hired a bunch of ringers that were probably younger than me and has been touring with them ever since (although they've even replaced one or two of THOSE replacements since then).

I saw them live once and it was embarrassing. like watching a cover band that you have to begrudgingly call Foreigner cuz the founder is *technically* still in the band (although he was gone for a year himself between 2011-2012).

Molly Hatchet had no original members from 1996 to 2005, but one of the guitar players has returned.

the Beach Boys touring band, pre-Brian Wilson 'reunion' and album, was pretty much just Mike Love and Bruce Johnston and a whole buncha other folks including the occasional John Stamos.

a) so, one original member
b) they've been back to that for almost two years

(although! Al Jardine is now singing with Brian, and Brian's longtime bandleader has left to join Mike's Beach Boys.)

Ha, came here to post Blood, Sweat & Tears because the band evidently now has two mid-80s joiners and American Idol alum Bo Bice om vocals.
