Prince, the cleanest artist of our times???

Well, is Prince the cleanest artist of our times ?.
There have been almost no reports of substance abuse or addiction coming from the Prince camp, ever !!!
IN fact, he has always given out a subtle message condemning the use of intoxicants,
Can we think of anyone else with such a clean lifestyle ?

She does not smoke/drink or do drugs.....she's on a strict diet too and works out! I think since her 1990 tour or before, I have that one taped.

Maybe from Prince himself, but there were other folks in Prince's camp in the past that were into the not-so-straight edge culture (Brooks, Safford, Morris Day, etc.).

Gene Simmons has been clean, annoyingly so actually

As for Madonna, I dont think she's THAT clean. Though she's not a heavy drinker by far, she seems to enjoy the very occasional drink when shes having fun. And while she's never dabbled in hard drugs, I read that she smoked pot a couple of times during the mid 90s (one notably being as part of "research" for a film).

I'd say Janet Jackson is pretty clean as well, as is Moby(who goes as far as being a veggie)

It's only been rumored about Prince using ecstacy nobody's ever proven it. I thought you meant 'clean' dress wise and yes Prince is the best dressed artist of our time. "Everywoman's crazy bout a Sharp Dressed Man"! biggrin

no, i'd say maybe Bruce. Prince has reputed to be a wine drinker and people who were close to him could swear that he was on something in the late 80's. I'm sure he has experimented with drugs, even perhaps, to see what it would do for his creativity. Some of his lyrics are either drug fueled or imitative of other artists who made spaced out lyrics. I've thought most of his antidrug stance was just pr.

I'm sure he is. Then again...

Part of me does believe that rumor that he wanted to pull the "Black Album" before its release because it was a result of a bad trip on ectasy... but cuz it's on Wikipedia...

The FAQ section says that his representatives have confirmed the rumors to be true, but I still have my doubts because it was never directly from his lips. I'm not as liable to believe anything unless Prince personally confirmed it.

If it wasn't an ectasy trip, there probably was a reason why he pulled the album initially, because he wasn't as confident with it. That part of his career in the 90's was really shaky for him, so I guess he had his reasons to have doubts about it.


Anyway, compared to a lot of artists, yes, I'd say he is one of the cleanest. Which makes him even more great because he came up with all of that beautiful poetry completely clean.

Prince pulled the album back in 1988 not the 90's.

If he was ever 'addicted' to anything it's been hidden well. There were rumors of him being addicted to pain killers but who knows? I think he had to have been 'on something' during that appearance on stage with JB & MJ where he fell off & brought a light fixture down with him.
