The Doors

The Doors were an American band formed in LA in 1965. Another band that needs no introduction, they were very well known for their frontman Jim Morrison's stage antics. 
They are also notable for having no bass player. Jim Morrison was pretty much one of the faces of the hippie movement, he was highly energetic on stage, and got into trouble with the authorities.
In 1967, he was arrested in New Haven after he insulted the police. In 1968, he was arrested again in Florida after he allegedly exposed himself on stage, and then again in 1969 when he allegedly exposed himself on stage again in Miami.
On July 3, 1971, Jim died. How exactly he died is still a mystery due to the fact that no autopsy was performed on his body. The band however, unlike other bands, continued on as a trio without him before finally disbanding in 1973. 
Ray Manzarek (the keyboardist) died in 2013, leaving Robbie Krieger and John Densmore the only remaining members.
