Ace in the Hole
Didn't Rod Stewart have a rough sending off early in his career? He was in Jeff Beck's group after Jeff Beck left the Yardbirds and after that Rod was in The Faces before going Solo.
The Yardbirds also finished up in odd-fashion, don't know if it was messy, though Jimmy Page was left with the name and had to fill in some Scandinavian gigs and was more or less how Led Zeppelin began. There was an controversial live album released though under the Yardbirds and Jimmy Page & others I think were against the release of it. And it ended up being one of these black market albums. I think this was due to the quality of the recording though.
