Starship "It's Not Enough"

The answer to why Starship didn't have a major hit after 1989's "It's Not Enough" is simple: following a 1989 concert in Pennsylvania, the group's lead singer Mickey Thomas got into a fight with drummer Donny Baldwin. Thomas, who replaced Grace Slick, was injured so badly that he needed facial surgery that required two titanium plates being implanted into his skull. This forced the band to postpone future shows and, thus, killed any momentum for the band's popularity. The band hasn't charted a Top 40 hit since.
