This has the CIA written all over it. They're covering up what really happen to keep a dark operation intact. Majid Javadi or one of Nazir's thugs were probably involved.

As someone who is a season behind on Homeland, I'm going to ignore that comment.

Surviving Members of Yellow Dogs and Free Keys Release Statement About Murder-Suicide

Does anyone know if the remaining members are spread out throughout all the instruments so the two half-bands can easily form one whole-band at this point or do we just have like 3 bass players and a drummer left between the two with no guitarists or vocalists?

My apologies if asking this is, in some way, considered gauche.

too soon?

Who cares. There are far too many bands in the world anyway. It's not going to kill anybody is there are two less mediocre bands in the world.

Don't dismiss reconfiguring surviving band members to maximize profit.

Who's dead in The Who?  A drummer and a bass player.  Who is still living in the Beatles?  A drummer and bass player.

The Whotles?  The Bho?  OMG!  They would CLEAN UP on the Baby Boomer circuit!  You think tix are expensive for Sting and Paul Simon??!?!?

Pardon me for being concerned about the ability of the survivors to care for their financial well-being going forward.

It's not going to kill anybody...

Goodness, gracious!

This is ridiculously plausible when you stop and think about it.
