Thanks for posting this. I didn't realize he was already that old when The Cars first album came out.

Do you, or anyone, happen to know why they broke up after only a decade or so?

 

The Heartbeat City album had been hugely successful, and they took a bit of a break after it...when they released their next new album in 1987, it relatively flopped. And at that point, they were more interested (Ric and Ben, at least) in pursuing solo careers.

My mother passed away this morning. This is too much for me.

 

Hugs to you and your family, Segue. I'm so sorry to hear this- it's hard to lose someone you have literally known your whole life. You have my deepest sympathy.

Wow. This is WAY sad. I LOVE the CARS, and most all of the solo albums from members also! RIP Ric!
