I guess it depends what the behaviour is. I have no problem with artists' self-detructive tendencies. Amy Winehouse is a case in point, walking disaster area, but her last album was superb IMV. Music is littered with dozens of similar cases...
Cat Stevens went on record in support of the fatwah imposed on author Salman Rushdie following the publishing of his "The Satanic Verses". Stevens/Youssef Islam is still on my blacklist.
Gary Glitter and his paedo exploits. Probably wouldn't have bought any of his material anyway, but definitely won't now.
How anyone can support the death sentence is beyond me. If you get the chance read Norman Mailer's book, 'The Executioner's Song' - chilling stuff.
