There is a thread somewhere on MD that asks the question whether or not an artist's personal life affects your opinion of them as far as listening to them is concerned! I remember Crazy mate saying Paul Weller is a jerk in person because CH bought him a beer and he just took it without saying thank you...lol...a jerk indeed! Then there's the mammoth ego of Paul McCartney to deal with. I think the final general consensus of the thread concluded that if the artist did no harm to a person violently or otherwise then they got a passing grade.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
