Musical Groups With Only One Original Member Left

The Hollies, which was formed in 1962, do not have any of their original members left in their line up. Lead guitarist Tony Hicks was in the line up for all their record releases, but did not join until 1963. Drummer Bobby Elliot also joined that year, and was not involved in some of their early single releases. Original lead vocalist Allan Clarke was the last founding member to leave the group in 2000.

British rock band Be-Bop Deluxe - Bill Nelson, lead vocalist and lead guitarist. Another grey area as it soon became largely his band.

The Divine Comedy is basically a one-man project as is The The (Matt Johnson), and these days Simply Red (Mick Hucknall). I always thought The Cure was a proper group, but maybe it has evolved into a one-man operation (Robert Smith). Funnily enough, I always considered The Fall as a group despite its domination by Mark E. Smith, and, of course, he being the only original member long before his demise. Brix Smith, for example, was quite influential in its sound when she was a member of The Fall.

Mondo Rock, Australian rock band, formed in 1976 - Ross Wilson, lead vocalist, guitarist and harmonica player. To be fair. all the other current four members go back to at least 1980 with the drummer Gil Matthews going back to 1979, albeit with some lengthy absences in between for most of them.

No longer the case - they are now in the Musical Groups Without Any of The Original Members Left thread!

Coldplay have had the same four members since they officially became Coldplay. They definitely don't fit the bill for this thread.

Earth, Wind and Fire, founded in 1970 - Verdine White, bassist and possible vocalist. To be fair, the other two current core members of the band have been there since 1972: Vocalist and percussionist Philip Bailey and drummer and vocalist Ralph Johnson.
