Any kind of breakup is tough, whether you’re a part of the former couple or not. For example, when bands break up, it may not affect their fans’ personal lives per se, but it does mean that we won’t be able to enjoy their music anymore. These four band breakups are perfect examples of a split that we may not have been a part of, but it hurts all the same.
The Beatles
John Lennon took the lyrics from “All You Need Is Love” a little too seriously and decided to trade in his successful music career for the woman of his dreams. He began to make music with Yoko Ono instead of the Beatles, but their band never really took off in any meaningful way, leaving fans Beatle-less.
Oasis
Like all brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher fought quite a bit. However, when you add millions of dollars and an alarming amount of fame to typical sibling rivalry, you get the train wreck that was Oasis. After nearly two decades of mixing family drama with work, Noel and Liam finally decided to call it quits.
Spice Girls
“Friendship never ends,” according to the Spice Girls, but bands do end, as did theirs. It was Geri Halliwell who called it quits, which many people believe was a decision based on disagreements within the band and exhausting tour schedules. Either way, the Spice Girls have since temporarily reunited, albeit without Posh Spice, proving that their friendship is still going strong!
One Direction
The members of One Direction never actually chose to work together. Rather, the band was created by the judges of The X Factor. Zayn Malik was the one who cut ties because he wanted to be “a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.” He then pursued his privacy by launching a solo music career and embarking on a very public relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid. Go figure.
3 TikTok Hacks That Will Make Your Home Smell Amazing
Planning to have guests over, but your house smells to high heaven? Not to worry! These simple hacks from TikTok are here to save the day.
Felt Pads and Essential Oils
Before we saw this TikTok video, we were sure that felt furniture pads were only good for ensuring our chairs won’t scuff the floor. Turns out, though, that they’re a perfect way to dispense some fresh smells around your house.
Just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to them and stick them around your house. Don’t use too much oil, though, as it might soak through and stain any delicate furniture. You can even use different oils for different rooms! Just make sure to use pet-friendly oils if you have a cat or dog around.
Baking Soda to the Rescue
This viral hack will leave your mattress smelling nice and fresh for longer. Over your bare mattress, sprinkle baking soda along with a few drops of essential oils. Leave it to rest for up to 10 hours, then use a vacuum cleaner to clean it all off. The baking soda will absorb any unwanted smells, and the oil will leave your bed with a fresh scent.
As an added bonus, the TikTok user recommends that as you tuck in new sheets on your bed, spritz them with water to remove any wrinkles.
Barista Vibes
If you’re a fan of coffee, this hack is perfect for you. All you need is a large candle holder, small vanilla-scented candles, and beautiful coffee beans. Place the coffee beans at the bottom of the container. Then, on top of them, place your candles. Once you light them up, a beautiful scent of French vanilla coffee will fill the air. This hack is sure to leave your home smelling like your favorite coffee shop.
