Bizarre Actions of Music Artists
Many contemporary music artists are known for their shocking antics and appallingly weird behaviors. Here’s a few of them.
Ozzy Osbourne
His concert fans used to throw live animals such as cats, frogs, chickens, snakes, etc. on the stage. During his “Bark At The Moon Tour” a bat was tossed on the stage and he grabbed it and bit the head off. He had to get two weeks of rabies shots after that.
Marilyn Manson
During one of his concerts he degraded a security guard by grabbing the man’s head and pressing it against his gyrating hips. He was charged with criminal misconduct, of course, but that didn’t stop him from repeating it at another concert. Maybe he just had a bad itch?
Madonna
In 1992 she published Sex, a book of photographs consisting of sexually explicit images. One photo shows her kneeling on the ground with a dog underneath her lying on its back, creating the impression that she is being intimate with the dog–in an unnatural way.
Flea
Long-time bassist of rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Balzary, more popularly known as Flea, often performs on stage wearing nothing but a tube sock; no shirts, no pants, no underpants, just a tube sock–and it’s not for his feet.
Keith Richards
Two years ago Richards revealed that the strangest thing he ever snorted was his cremated father, saying his father wouldn’t have mind. A music channel immediately reported afterwards that Richards was only kidding. Five months later, however, Richards confirmed that he had, in fact, snorted his father’s ashes. He even went into detail describing how he opened his father’s box, laid a little bit of his father’s ashes on the dining room table, and snorted it up with no cocaine mixed in.
Perhaps snorting human ashes provides a totally different kind of high.
Music artists. Peculiar bunch, aren’t they?

Some seem to have the license but mostly they do it for promotions! Bad publicity is good publicity, so they say

Very interesting write. It gets attention it seems and the fans love it. Some were news to me, though.

Your article was entertaining although I wouldn’t say the behavior of these people could be considered entertaining. Bizarre, perhaps, but then I guess that’s what they were going for.

Wow this was fascinating! I had heard about a couple of the antics but this was quite eye opening. And I thought marching band was fun.
This was very well written. Nicely done!

Haha, aw they’re all nutters, but that’s why we love them. They do the things we mere mortals don’t have the nerve to do.

Definitely weird…
But I’ve been told a number of times that artists tend to “have a screw loose”.
I wonder what that means for writers?

Keith Richards is still alive? I guess all of his innards are pickled by now, so he’ll stay alive for years.
Must be something inside a musician’s brain that gets squished to make room for the musical abilities. Larry Norman said that he grew his hair long to make room for his brain.
