Yes, stars 'break'. After a very long time. When a star runs out of fuel for its internal process of nuclear fusion, the star goes supernova. These massive explosions can be witnessed across the galaxy. Then, stars can do one of two things. Stars less than 3 Solar masses will collapse into white dwarves. Larger stars will become harbingers of doom, black holes. These astronomical formations have such an immense gravity, that anything within the event horizon is sucked into the black hole and lost forever. The point of infinite density, the singularity, has such a strong gravitational pull that it can capture even light- hence the name "black hole". We cannot see stars at this point; since there is no escaping light, we cannot see them and they are dubbed "black bodies". These black holes are constantly giving of radiation, and eventually will collapse as well.
