# In a LongRunner band, every member leaves, except for one. These splits can be friendly or not, they can happen all at once or over several years, but either way, the one founding member who doesn't leave becomes the only [[TheConstant constant]]. Often becomes a case of RevolvingDoorBand and could lead to ArtistAndTheBand.

Added DiffLines:

* English blues band Chicken Shack has been guitarist/vocalist Stan Webb since its 1965 inception (to the point where the band is occasionally billed as "Stan Webb's Chicken Shack"), despite the band being best-known for featuring a pre-Music/FleetwoodMac Christine McVie (then known as Christine Perfect) in their early ranks.


Added DiffLines:

* With the death of Charlie Watts in August 2021, this trope has come into full effect for Music/TheRollingStones, as both Music/MickJagger and Music/KeithRichards have been the only 2 consistent members throughout the band's 60+ year career, despite Music/BrianJones being their initial leader and Music/RonWood being a member since 1975. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since Jagger and Richards have been the main creative soul of the band throughout its history.

SuperTrope to ArtistAndTheBand. Compare with SpotlightStealingTitle, OnlyOneName. Also see OneManBand, for the guys who play all their instruments simultaneously. This is more or less the inversion of IAmNotShazam. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Sounds like]], but isn't, IAmTheNoun.
