=End Date of an Artist=

==Description==

The "end date" property of an [[Artist]] stores the date of when it stopped existing. The meaning of the date depends on the [[Artist Type|ArtistType]]:

==Additional information==

* For persons it means the date of death (even if the artist entry is a [[Performance Name|PerformanceName]]).
* For groups it means the date when the group '''last''' dissolved. So if a group dissolved and then reunited, the date is that of when they last dissolved (if at all). It is currently not possible to store multiple periods of time for groups (you could describe such facts in the [[Artist Annotation|ArtistAnnotation]]). An empty end date means either the group still performs or it is unknown when they dissolved.

Like all dates in [[MusicBrainz]] ([[Release Date|ReleaseDate]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, dates in [[Advanced Relationships|AdvancedRelationships]], [[Label Begin Date|LabelBeginDate]] and [[Label End Date|LabelEndDate]]) the end date of an artist can vary in its accuracy from just a year to the exact day. You cannot enter just a day without specifying a month or just a month without a year though.

The end date of an artist corresponds with the [[Artist Begin Date|ArtistBeginDate]].
