The year 1996 marked a turning point for a number of artists. Allow us to highlight a few…<\/p>\n
Phil Collins<\/a> officially departed <\/a>from Genesis<\/a>\u00a0in order to focus more on his solo career, there was an extremely brief reunion<\/a> between David Lee Roth<\/a> and Van Halen<\/a>, plus Slash<\/a> left Guns N’ Roses<\/a>. (Nearly 20 years would pass before his return.)<\/p>\n “Axl [Rose]<\/a> and I have not been capable of seeing eye to eye on Guns N’ Roses for some time. We recently tried to collaborate, but at this point, I’m no longer in the band,” Slash said at the time<\/a>. “I’d like to think we could work together in the future if we were able to work out our differences.” Lisa Marie Presley<\/a> filed for divorce from Michael Jackson<\/a> after less than two years of marriage. Meanwhile,\u00a0John Anthony Gillis married Meg White, taking her surname and effectively becoming Jack White<\/a>.<\/p>\n
