I think with singers or leaders of bands, or people who have their personality entwined closely with their product, it's tougher to separate their personality with their product.
If it was the producer, or the bass player instead of the lead singer of the Lost Prophets I think their music might be more listenable for people who did like their music (I didn't).
I like some of Michael Jackson's music and I think his case was less blatant than the case of Ian Watkins I suppose that's why I can still listen to his music.
As for everyone else it just depends what good they did and what they did that was bad and weighing it up.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
