Those left or fired from bands - where are they now?
From Tom DeLonge to Joey Jordison
Blink-182 - Tom DeLonge: While insisting that he did not in fact quit Blink, former bandmates Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have brutally spoken out about parting ways with the band due to his 'disrespectful and ungrateful' attitude and not being willing to participate in touring and recording. While he's recently released material with Angels & Airwaves, it's been said he'll focus on his 'non-musical endeavours' - including Atticus and Macbeth fashion brands, his Modlife business and film-writing.
It's never easy seeing your favourite bands fall apart, but for better or worse, members often have a habit of falling by the wayside in their bid to survive. Some leave of their own accord, others are pushed, and Blink-182's Tom DeLonge is just the latest in a long list of those forced to find life outside of the band.
From the mystery of Slipknot's Joey Jordison and the original Arctic Monkeys bassist to the entirety of the 'classic' Smashing Pumpkins line-up, these are some of the more high-profile artists who left or were fired from massive bands.
But the big question - what did they do next?
