Artist goes sober and records their worst, most sellout album

>artist goes sober and records their worst, most sellout album

Is there any case where this doesn't happen?

No More Shall We Part and Skeleton Tree Are top 3 cave

>le drugs is make music good XD meme

Grimes, fucko

But grimes never made good music

Most of the albums Gucci Mane released post prison and sober are some of his best. Mr. Davis is definitely a sell out, but I expected that from a commercial album.

Bowie is the only exception i can think of and even he later went on to make crap music in the 80s. I think Soundgarden's king animal is the worst offender when it comes to this sober shit.

John Coltrane
Miles Davis

the list probably goes on

Megadeth with Rust In Peace

...

She's also still a junkie

...

Prove it

Maybe the drugs always end up killing them and they have to be replaced by a different model

Most of GNR was sober for use your illusion but relapsed after

According to Duff McKagans book, everyone in the band besides axl Rose was a train wreck up until the end of the band. Alcoholic/coke addict/ heroin addicts at their worst.

Why is no-one mentioning this fine gentleman who has answered the post's question with a fantastic example?
