What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?
Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. "At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage..."
R. L. Burnside killed a man "possibly at a craps game."
Varg of Mayhem Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.
I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.

I used to enjoy Lostprophets
Was going to comment this one.
Smh. So gross.
I'm out of the loop here but I'm not sure if I want to know what happened
Ian Watkins, the lead singer, is now in prison for sexual abuse of children. We're not talking the typical groomer here, he actually raped kids as young as toddlers. He's a monster. A lot of their songs are absolute bangers, but knowing about him makes it hard to listen to them.
The rest of the band (to my knowledge) are decent, though. They broke up the band upon learning the truth about Watkins, and has since formed a new band.
Oh yikes. That's just... Yikes. I'm glad the rest of the band got out of there, that's just absolutely appalling and horrible
Lead singer was a Cat 5 pedo. Was caught trying to organise baby rape.
One member was a pedo and went to prison. He is still there IIRC
I thought that one might come up.
