What artist have left a successful group to go on to have even greater success as solo artist or in a new group?


Once again N.W.A comes to mind with Ice Cube leaving N.W.A and having even greater solo success.

So... can you guys think of any rock, rap, or r&b artist that were in a very successful group then decided to leave or got kicked out... but had even more success after they left the group?
 
Michael Jackson I guess is another.
 
I think Donnie Walhberg is more success now than when he was in NKOTB.
 
Ozzy
and dude that made Foo Fighters
 
Lil Wayne. Even though he ain't my cup of tea.



From Hot Boyz to people riding his D over those...solo joints. Homeboy moved up.
 




Tip doesn't really count but this jam too hot.
 
Eric Clapton, City and Colour (Dallas Green), Neil Young, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.
 
Sting from The Police

He tried to hump that paralyzed chick in that movie and had to jump out the window and run for it with his whole ass hanging out.

Yep... I just quoted you in the the other thread. New Edition made hits after Bobby and Bobby made hits after New Edition.

Everybody from that band made hits when they were with the band and after they left the band. They were nothing but hit makers. Thats why I call them the greatest boy band ever.
 
Ritchies after he left The Commadores
