How many bands are still going without any original members?
In view of the Sugababes still going without any original members are there any other bands who are doing the same.
Thin Lizzy are still doing the Rock Circuit but for me thats a insult to the name.
Brotherhood of man started with a different line up but only had one Hit before the new one took over and had many more hits.
are there any more and were they sucsessful?

on the works laptop and far too slow to google it.
late edit : calling girl groups that just prance about on a stage with just a mic calling them a band is laughable.
I just dont get why they are called a band.
Scott Gorham has been there for a very long time.
The Moody Blues still comprise of Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge!! They have just complete a USA tour and are still kicking ass some 40 years later!!!:D:D:D
Wasn't Lady GaGa an original Doll, or they were part of her act in New York or something? I can never remember haha.
Napalm Death, Juda Priest only have one member left from the original line up. The Pipettes, I think The Temptations, Thin Lizzy.
There's probably more.
Lynard Skynryd's only constant is Johnny I think.
Not WITH ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER.
Not really as although Rick Parfitt wasnt in the original band formed by Francis Rossi in 1962 He joined in 1967 when the band were called Traffic Jam. When the band changed its name to Status Quo He was a founding member of that band IMO.
The Dolls started in 1995, so Lady GaGa would have been all of nine, unless she's a relation of Sinitta!
So yeah, one-man-plus-some-assistants type bands are fickle.
Also Aikaryu, who were only together about 4 or 5 years maximum, had a pretty impressive turnover rate. I don't know how many originals lasted the duration, but I'm leaning towards none or one, two at the most.
I think Mary Wilson was the only one who was with them from the beginning until they split in 1977, or so Wiki says anyway.

Oooh-oooh
I know they have one original member but I was going to mention The Fall. However, it would seem inappropriate to do so now the post police have turned up with their pedantic siren making a noise (sirens and flashing lights are seperate as any good pedant knows).
It's not pedantic if people are ignoring a clear question and answering another instead. The OP was asking about bands with no original members, not bands with one or two original members. That's a pretty big difference and the amount of bands in the latter situation is endless and common, unlike those with no original members.
To myself and clearly others;
No original members - interesting, unusual.
One or two original members - ...................and?
That's true, and some bands are creatively just one person with hired hands (e.g. The Lightning Seeds, Simply Red).
Surely there's 3 original members of Priest, KK, Ian and Glenn. Rob's back too, although not being the original vocalist, he's probably considered to be.
