Drug-free pop stars A growing number of those in the recording industry have admitted taking drugs, but not all of them. What about Britain's 'Peter Pan of Pop', Sir Cliff Richard? http://www.dailymail.co.u...chard.html Abba were asked in 'Abba:The Movie' if their lifestyle included drug use, but replied that it didn't. Also there was Neil Diamond who took a well-publicized anti-drug stance in the sixties http://home.netcom.com/~z.../ak_nd.htm However, he did actually succumb to drug use at a later date http://www.popcrunch.com/...ion-61-80/ Can anybody think off-hand of any pop stars who've kept themselves free of the demon weed? | |

Demon weed?
I think Prince´s almost scandal free life despite being in showbiz for more than three decades is pretty remarkable. The few incidences I´ve heard of are not worth mentioning, including the blown out of proportion ecstacy trip before Lovesexy came out. Considering who he is and how far he´s come, it is amazing that he is as clean as he is. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Hmmm, I didn't want to make a joke about it ; I thought that this thread was about pop/rock stars who willingly bought drugs for recreational use (cocaine, weed, heroin, ecstasy,etc.), not for medicinal purposes...

JoeTyler said: Prince Madonna Michael Jackson The Edge (as far as I know) Kylie Minogue Alan Wilder (exDepeche Mode) I remember reading an article about The Edge taking shrooms that were given to him by Adam Clayton, the bass player. The article was written by the edge and he described his experiences. | |

Janet Jackson. I think Madonna used to do X back in the day (according to her RRHOF speech). Wasn't it rumored that, in that rare Youtube video with Prince and MJ sharing the stage with James Brown, that P had just done drugs backstage with JB's band--hence his loopy demeanor when he finally hit the stage? With MJ, he never did illegal drugs, but if you're talking prescrips...

This is impossible to answer. No one knows what these people are doing by themselves when they are alone and nor should anyone try to. While some of them may not be addicts there is no telling what shit they have tried in their lifetimes. | |

Madonna? I don't know if I can believe that. She wanted to know why weed wasn't legal yet and didn't she do some drugs during the early NY clubbing days?

Have many Americans ever heard of the Nolan Sisters? They claim to have steered clear of drugs. http://www.express.co.uk/...an-sisters The comedy pop group Barron Knights released a track called "Barron's Fun 40", which was meant to be an amusing chart including the song "'Sex, drugs and rock and roll' by the Nolan Sisters" As regards a lot of pop people I don't know. I don't know about the Spice Girls, the Saturdays etc. [Edited 10/4/10 3:43am] | |

Yep, coke. | |

Ummm, I kinda doubt that she hasn't smoked some "demon weed". But maybe not.
However, weed shmeed. Who cares? It's not any worse than getting drunk or high on prescription drugs. Won't even be illegal much longer in a lot of places. | |

Madge was doing X and K in the early days and maybe even a little coke from time to time. She was all about pot in the BS era but she's been fairly clean since she has kids
Kylie experimented with things when she was with Michael Hutchence You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
