Just below the Stones and Beatles? Debatable.

Is the word heartache a clue I wonder. The ones with the hotel in the western U.S. state. I don't really know the history of their break-up/reunion(s) but they're big enough on that side of the pond are they not?
It's a popular guess on the site but no one can recall a member dishing the dirt on an A list radio show. The show is believed to be the one hosted by the man with the very strict sounding surname. There aren't many A list national radio shows in the US.

Hmm...I'm looking at this one from the Dark Side Of The Moon personally....
Certainly you'd put them up there with the Beatles and the Stones. The other band I'd rate is the Doctor sounding band.

Was my first thought, Even though as a fan i think they are overplaying how important they are. Can't think of anyone else who fits and has the type of person in the band who would do all that
Could be Just a Gigolo ? They aren't that big over here, but are in the US and one of the members is considered pretty much top of the tree for his chosen instrument...

Ah!!! Now the replacement singer and guitarist had major issues, singer dissed like mad about the brothers and stole(its said) the bass player. So Gigolo rejoined the band without the bass player who now works with the Haggar. Loads of ill feeling. Gigolo rejoined and they did tour earlier in the year. When Gigolo first left they did a lot of bitching about each other in the press Rolling Stone for one.

Gladiator is not "foreign born" for a US site. Born in New York and lived there til aged 12.
It doesn't mention that on his Wiki page. Says he was born in New Zealand.

From The Gossip Life:

This band is certified A-list, one of the best selling of all time. On the rungs of musical importance, they're just below the Stones and the Beatles. Fans clamoured for a reunion for years and although it seemed possible on multiple occasions, the reunion failed to happen because of one member and one reason. Our member constantly went on a once very prominent A-list radio show, badmouthed the other members and did everything in his power to piss the fans and the record company off. Eventually the reunion happened, but the bad feelings and heartache always lived on.
God only knows who that is

God only knows that he wanted to be taken seriously as a musician and not a 'boy band'

They were actually on the same level as the Beatles to me and still appear to be fairly amenable so on further reflection I don't think it's that band

From CDAN:

This foreign born permanent A list singer who has multiple Grammy Awards but not an award you think she probably has, really wants her girlfriend to feel loved so our singer is thinking of coming out.
Some people are guessing that this is the Titanic singer. Doesn't add up to me. Long time married and only recently a widow. Claimed only this week that she's only ever kissed her husband. But there's a dearth of permanent A list singers born outside the US.

Wonder what 'the award you probably think she has' is? Maybe an oscar? But if so, for a theme tune or acting?

Sex addiction is thrown about too often. Being a cheater isnt a disease. He just cant stay faithful. Is it definitely him?
CDAN have revealed the blind so I presume it to be true

There is still much bad blood between members of the band, two of whom have books out at the moment.

Indeed there is truly no Love lost.

I rarely comment on blinds but I think this is a great shout.

That was Mad Max. Gladiator was born in New Zealand.

Interesting recent article from Vanity Fair on blind items and how celebrities and publicists deal with them.

They are confusing Braveheart & Gladiator. Braveheart was born in USA and lived there until he was 12. Gladiator was born in NZ and moved to Oz as a small child.

Yes Diamond Dave did loads of radio etc at the time. Also he took over from the Stern as the host of the radio show for a while too. The fans always wanted the original band back together.

hmmm, very possible.
It's not 'welcome to the jungle' as they have done very little press over the years.
Maybe 'Rumours'?

Oh no that's really put me off her. He seems a bit of a dullard but she seems like a really fun girl. Obviously not a good friend though
