I think that is a case of English ambiguity. The Beatles died when the first of them died, because no longer were the Beatles alive (or capable of performing as "The Beatles"). This gets even more complicated with a group like the Moody Blues, which has had its membership change.

I erased it, but I don't understand what could be meant by "re loi broda" since piroloi broda is the mass of all the broda there is. What does it mean to discuss two masses of all there is?
