Zeppelin had it right when they broke up after Bonham's death, and have retained their legendary status because of it(Ever notice how Zep have had their mystique and legendary status maintained and even increased while the Who's has waned to some degree because of all of the "comebacks" minus members). U2 would not be U2 without any of the four guys.
you're 100% right. this is exactly why the Beatles hold mystique while the Stones don't.
