The name of the group was The Carpenters, and they were a very successful and popular pop-rock band of the 1970s.  Do you want to know more about them, and the history of the band?

Yes, I hear they had a tragic ending

Yeah, that’s true.  It was just before Christmas in 1982, and Karen Carpenter died from heart failure, even though she had already been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa.  Her husband Richard took her life within a week of her passing, then passed away himself from a heart attack.  No one really knows why they both did this, but the timing makes it seem like they may have been planning to take their own lives in

Richard was her brother.
