To be sacked means to be dismissed, fired, thrown out, asked to leave... Your translator colleagues can hardly be expected to be familiar with the particular circumstances of this sacking. :o(

Thank you all. And, Graham, I don't know where to answer you, so speak here. Even if other band members dislike someone and hold all the cards, they will tell the music compay to fire her. Right? My friends said Western bands are usually independent from the Music Company, and can leave the Music Company at will.:(

'My friends said Western bands are usually independent from the Music Company, and can leave the Music Company at will.:(' LIHUA-Your friends tell you wrong, and confuse you.If the band has a contract with the record company, they can do nothing at will,except obey the terms of the contract, i.e to produce so many records per year, perform so many live shows to promote them, etc.

Right on Andrew! Remember the notorious George Michael battle with Sony - to cite just one example. :o)

Answer is accepted.Thank you:). Other friends are also helpful, but I don't know where to accept your comments.
The band member lost his/her job
He was told to leave the group, he was made redundant, his services no longer required.Buchanan was sacked for whatever reason by the band itself, or by t he band's music company, impossible to know which from the context provided.

She was sacked and replaced by another singer. She was one of the original members of the band, the other two have been replaced by others years ago. My friends said she was sacked by the bond. But I don't understand why a original member be sacked by the substitutes.

Sacked by the substitutes? That's ridiculous. That's like saying that they just walked in and told the guy to leave because they wanted his job... Quite often, when band members are asked to leave, this is usually initiated by the music company, the agent or, alternatively, by those band members who hold all the cards [and due to conflicting interests].

Fully agree with Andrew. The phrase says '...from the group', meaning the person was removed from the group, but there is no suggestion of who sacked him/her. It would depend on the contractual arrangements they have.
Nov. 4, 11:58 GMT
There can be a whole host of reasons why she was sacked. Sometimes when a band's dynamics change there are personality clash issues.

From the whole text, I can judge she was sacked by the company, but they still disagree. So I decide to omit the subject, Thank you:)

@Lihua: in my view, if she was sacked, that must have been done by a person who had the authority to do so I think 'asked to leave' would be more appropriate in this case [as stated by Andrew]. IMO, you can only be 'sacked' by a person in authority.

Agree with Andrew and Graham Oxtoby
