Like the title asks, what's your fave final single released by an artist before calling it quits or dying?

I think the best recent final single (in pop music at least) is:

Agree? Or is there better?

Are u serious?

THAT song?

Anyways...

I thought More than a woman/rock the boat were good final songs with actual videos for Aaliyah before she sadly passed away.

I did also like Viva Forever by the spice girls as the final song to feature Geri in as a group.

I totally agree about Aaliyah, even though I would mention 'Miss You' as her final single ().May her soul rest in peace

Either Untouchable by Girls aloud, or One touch by Mini viva.

What became of the likely lads - The Libertines

Just sums them up perfectly I think.

One Touch by Mini Viva I thought was possibly the best pop song of last year.

I agree with both of these. I think Untouchable would be the most perfect farewell single for Girls Aloud. It almost makes me hope they don't release any new material!

And if Rachel Stevens never releases another album, then I think I Said Never Again would be a pretty amazing final single.

I agree on that. I often wonder what Aaliyah's next single after Rock The Boat would have been if she hadn't died. RIP Aaliyah

Nice song but not really a strong comeback for the Spice Girls.
