Should i break up my band or fire the vocalist or wait for a while?

I play the guitar in a indie rock, grunge like band. i write all the songs. the problem is that the singer, he is really good, but ever since he's got a girlfriend he became like a high school kid and is too obsessed with his girl. like he needs permission from his girl to go out... can't believe it. I can't play music with someone who is seduced by something else and no longer capable of displaying his potential. so i'm thinking whether i should break up the band or just fire him. the chemisty of the band will not spark any more without him, so i might as well start all over again but i feel bad for the bassist and the drummer. or should i wait for a while to make a decision, wishing he comes back to where he was before

Well, in order to avoid a "Yoko Ono" incident, I really think you should just sit down and talk to the guy. I mean, it is obvious that his commitment to the band is inferior compared to the commitment to his girlfriend; but you really should tell him how you feel before you make the drastic move of breaking up the band. A band is like a team; you should all communicate together before making any rash decisions; because it affects everyone. Maybe your lead singer does not realize that his relationship to his girlfriend is affecting the band's chemistry; and perhaps he does not want the band to end either. He just needs to find a way to balance both his relationship to his girlfriend, and his relationship to this band. I highly suggest you just tell him this before it's too late. Good Luck!
Reply:you should talk to him about it and lay out whats going on. maybe he can channel that passion into writing some really deep stuff.
