There are even some great talents who find themselves just plain broke. Musicians seem as bent on self-destruction as they are on reaching the top of the Hit Parade. After all, it takes a certain breed to make it. But put a rocker on the road, in the public eye or under the microscopic glare of the paparazzi, and sometimes the smallest, dumbest, minutest detail can cause a crack in the fissure and atomize a career. Think of it as a hissy fit gone haywire.
Some stars manage to extinguish the fire and take their career to a new level.
Others are burned to a crisp. But just like a bad car accident, we know you want to see the tragedy, so we've compiled rock's all-time scandals, fistfights and temper tantrums. See, sometimes it's not all about the music. Inc. All rights reserved.
