Pink Floyd Found Itself Short Of A Founding Member
Things started going pear-shaped for Pink Floyd during The Final Cut recording sessions. David Gilmour did not take kindly to Roger Waters’ lobbying, and it was the newfound influences that were causing heated debates. Eventually, Waters would end up taking legal action against the rest of the band if they decided to continue using the band’s original name. This acrimonious recording period that the bandmates suffered during The Final Cut’s production would make it the final one to include Waters, who was a foundational songwriter and bassist.

The Smiths Began Suing One Another
While The Smiths were an undoubtedly successful band, the beef behind the scenes between members began to form cracks. Johnny Marr could no longer find the energy in June 1987 and had to go on a sabbatical, something that he believed was scrutinized by his fellow members. Marr would take off after he wrongly believed that an NME article called “Smiths to Split” had been conspiratorially created by Morrissey. Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce would end up suing both Marr and Morrissey following their departures due to their petty royalty sum that was left for them.
