It depends on how the contract was worded. If your agreement was with the band entity as opposed to a specific person, then you are probably committed. It being a verbal contract its hard to enforce but you have your rep to consider. If your agreement was with the singer, then the contract is null

Contracts for entertainment usually have a clause nullifying them if the members of the group change in a significant manner. I’d recommend going to a written contract and including that in the future.

For this group, I’d see if you could re-negotiate to a profit based deal that allows them to make a little extra money if they exceed expectations..
