Back when I was a teenager I loved Lostprophets. I didnβt hear about Ian Watkins becoming one of the worst people in Wales until a few years after they disbanded.
Crystal Castles is also pain listening to nowadays with Alice and Ethan.

Vince Neil killing Razzle. Then the band casually acting like Mick never existed.
Such horse shit Vince didn't have to do time for that. He has gotten a couple DUI's since too. On his Wikipedia page seems he likes to assault women. Total piece of shit.
I think Vince was rather surprised he did not have to do time also.
Poor Mick.
Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone, recorded a song ostensibly about how he'll always love heroin more than his long time girlfriend/fiancΓ© then ten days later he overdosed and died.
Salvador Dali was alleged to have beat his wife if I remember correctly. I don't remember what the details were, I think there was abuse there as well.
Metallica when they shut the bed and started attacking their fans.
Raped women(alegedly) (Rammstein).
I was fairly partial to "tie me kangaroo down, sport" as a child of preteen years. Not to mention Gary Glitter songs.
Being bought up in the [UK] seventies comes with a lot of that kind of trauma these days.
I'm having to re-evaluate my life choices as a ten year old regularly in 2020s civilization.
Hyper Potions. They split due to the other member being involved in pedophilia and rape, which shocked me when I heard about it.
The time Josh Homme kicked that lady in the face
Also this fucker (bassnectar)

More than a few of the musicians whose music I like have gotten in trouble for grooming, being pedos, and abusing minors. Two come to mind immediately because I found out recently: BoyInABand and Geoxor. There's probably more musicians like that whose news I haven't heard of.
edit: I don't follow this band but seems like lostprophets had an even worse situation.
Edit2: I read a bunch of the comments and a very prevalent trend is musicians getting in trouble for being pedos. Why so common?
The Boyinaband thing sucks, used to like his collabs with Andrew Huang :( Boyinaband wonβt get any of my views anymore.
Red House Painters, specifically Mark Kozelek. I think the things he was accused of were from his Sun Kil Moon days, but it still sucks. Those first couple of albums I have listened to dozens of times.
Crystal Castles and Sweet Trip also have intraband sexual assault allegations, which really sucks because then I'm a fan of both the victim and the predator.
Missing a pretty big thing about Varg being a white supremacist, and of the spineless kind.

Sigur Rosβs ex drummer was accused of rape and the band itself was accused of tax evasion.
