Roger Waters is a huge fucking dick, and was pretty much the biggest reason Pink Floyd split apart during the production of The Wall.
Musicians that are also Lolcows?

Gotta agree with everyone indicating Morrisey a a lolcow. This reminds me when he did a short tour in Chile in the mid 2010's. He's incredibly popular in Latin America and often does gigs down here. But yeah, before his presentation in the Viña del Mar Festival around 2014 or so, he threatened to quit one day before his performance over the fact the catering was not 100% vegan. Since he was like only one of two major international features of the whole festival and the organization crew were desperate to make it a hit due to ratings and attendance getting lower by the year, they did just that to appease to him and let him perform to an enraptured audience. Worse, the local media somehow sided with him, arguing that international shows were "few and far between" and they couldn't manage not coddling to his whims.
Much props to his talent as a singer and songwriter, but he's an asshole, pure and simple. And worse than just an asshole is an asshole surrounded by yes men and enablers, as this very thread attests.
Can I nominate Van Morrison? The man seemed to revel in his bad fame. I read somewhere that one day he was supposed to give an interview to a newspaper/magazine, but as soon as they sat down to conduct it, Van started to read some other magazine, and when the reporter reached to him, he curtly answered he was "busy".
There's also Captain Beefheart. Locking your band in a crappy cabin for months on end, and literally throw off the stairs and/or beat the shit of your bandmates over missed beats is pure horrorcow behavior in my book.

Roger Martinez of Vengeance Rising fame. Instead of being mature and just moving on after renouncing his Christian faith, he supposedly sent death threats and had a chimp out.
The biography section of the Wikipedia article is insane.
He spent the next decade as a euphoric fedora tipper.

Rage Against the Machine. You know they'd be on the Trump hatewagon. And they're grown adults that haven't evolved past their 90s rebellious phase.
Good music tho.

Tyler, The Creator is on the verge of being the O.G. Lolcow.
All because he went from eating a cockroach:
To singing about a boy that made his heart break:
But hey, at least he finally won a Grammy for it.

I forgot about that, although it's worse. He had her parents sign guardianship over to him. I think it was dubbed "sleaziest moment in rock".

I like to call what they do "temper tantrum music" - the audio equivalent of a four year old caterwauling on a supermarket floor because his parent wouldn't get him candy or whatever.

I brought up Pink Floyd earlier, but I would also be remiss if I didn't bring up Syd Barrett.
Barrett was an unstable individual, and as time went on he became more and more erratic, such as playing different songs from the rest of the band while performing (this was referenced in Dark Side), detuning his guitar, or playing a single note (sometimes not at all). He abused LSD and there's speculation that he had schizophrenia, but no one knows for sure why he suddenly went off the deep end. He was ultimately kicked out after he approached the band and claimed that he came up with a new song called "Have You Got It Yet?" What would happen was that the band would play what he instructed before he stopped them and proceeded to play something completely different while singing "Have you got it yet?"
If Barrett were any lolcow though, he'd most likely be a sadcow. Even though Pink Floyd kicked him out for being a pain in the ass, he was still an important member of the group, so much so that Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon were both heavily influenced by his departure and the melancholy that came from it. Notably, Barrett showed up to the recording of Wish You Were Here; no one recognized him at first because he had gained a lot of weight and shaved his head. He made odd comments like saying the new songs sounded old and spent the majority of his visit brushing his teeth. Outside of Waters running into him at Harrods, nobody saw him after that. It's clear the band did care about him but ultimately weren't able to help him.

Prince fucked a bunch of the female musicians he worked with. Such as Shelia E, Susannah Melvoin, Denise Matthews (Vanity), Susan Moonsie, Robin Power, Carmen Electra...the list goes on. I guess people still think because he was short and feminine looking that he didn't get around much. If anything, Prince was rumored to have multiple female partners and orgies at Paisley Park. Prince himself however wasn't as respectful of women as he made himself out to be. He was often very controlling of his colleagues to the point where he would tell them how to dress and how to eat.
I honestly consider Prince to be much more weirder than say Michael Jackson, because Prince would just say or do really strange things with no explanation. I had a conversation with one of my friends about how Prince became a Jehovah's Witness in the 2000s and they said something really interesting about how mostly; really crazy people get involved with that. MJ for instance, stopped getting involved with JWs after Thriller because they hassled him about the music video which had "occult" elements which was against their teachings. MJ didn't even celebrate Christmas until 1993 because it was ingrained in him since childhood to not partake any holidays.
After Prince became a JW he stopped cursing or doing the raunchy things he was famous for, this including not singing some of his more explicit songs like Darling Nikki. He would also make really odd decisions with how he distributed his music or videos. At one point he started removing his music videos from MTV and VH1's websites around 2007-2008. Some fans tried to archive them on a now defunct website called imeem and they stayed up for about a year until the website was bought out by MySpace. For about a decade, the only way you could watch Prince's music videos online was through Chinese or Russian websites. Prince did however make a temporary site where you could watch all his music videos, but the catch was that it cost about $77 to gain access to it all (the site was only up just to promote one of his albums, Lotus Flower).

Reminds me of a joke I heard after he died; Prince was the only man who could steal your woman while wearing the same heels she was.

Ian Brown of the Stone Roses is a conspiracy nut and always posting mad shit on Twitter about the latest thing he's got into his head. There's a few rappers like that too, Lowkey is a bit less out there than he is but he still goes around calling people Illuminati.
Jordan Raskopolous of The Axis Of Awesome trooned out, seemingly out of a mix of autogynephilia, spending too much time on Something Awful, and feeling inadequate compared to his footy player dad so in typical sexist creep fashion decided that failed man = woman. Now he posts lewds and rambling walls of text about how he can't possibly carry the band's equipment around because he's a dainty lady now, even though plenty of female musicians and roadies do just that.
Blood On The Dancefloor are more horrorcows but probably count.

How about Barbra Streisand? I heard she was a massive bitch. She even got a term named after her called the "Streisand Effect" and she was constantly mocked South Park during it's early years.

He released Rust In Peace, better than anything Metallica ever did imo. Although he didn't get "bigger" than Metallica, Megadeth had way more talent especially when it came to guitar (Kirk Hammett ended up being a totally dud, boring wahh solos). He sounds extremely based otherwise although he's a kook.

It's my understanding that Barrett took more LSD than would be recommended and subsequently went insane, that's what lead to his insanity and leaving the band. The picture of him in the studio is pretty sad. His work on Piper At Gates Dawn was amazing, it's sad he wasn't able to follow through on his whole career.
