Alice Cooper was alcoholic for at least part of his career, but was almost paranoid about harder drugs of any kind. He was afraid of someone spiking his can of beer with drugs so that he had his assistant one a can, he’d take a swig, and then the can would be removed and thrown away. He did this after touring with The Grateful Dead who, according to him, 'wanted everyone to try LSD even if they didn’t want to.
Adam Ant, up to and throughout the period he was famous, never did anything (nor drank alcohol).
Later he was addicted to anti-depressants though.

Not only is Taylor straight-edge, she’s still, as I understand it, a virgin.
She’s dating this guy. World’s highest paid DJ, underwear model, 6’6" and apparently pretty smart. I don’t think I would take that bar bet.
She’s dated the werewolf from Twilight, one of the Directions, a Spider-Man, a Kennedy, and John Mayer, among others. From what I’ve read, they all agree that she likes to make out, but she refuses to take the next step.
Sadly, my beloved Alice finally got busted. When they decided to do the documentary Super Duper Alice Cooper, they told him then that they’d put his drug usage and he agreed it was time to tell the truth about all the cocaine he took. Anyway, it only takes seeing the concert footage from the late 70s / early 80s, coupled with when Sheryl filed for divorce, to understand that that level of thinness is only a result of being a terrible junky. I know he’s sworn forever that he never touched the hard stuff, but the film came out in 2014 and I thought it was common knowledge now.
Keith Richards, of course.
[ Nothing “recreational” about the man’s intake - he’s a professional, kids. ]
Brandon Flowers (The Killers) is said to be a practicing Mormon and devoted family man, so it’s rather doubtful that he’s into the drug/alcohol scene.
IIRC, he converted to Mormonism at his then-fiancées-now-wife’s insistence a few years after the Killers made it big, so there’s no telling what he may have been into before then.
Musically speaking, it’s pretty clear that he’s keen on Jesus.
You take show business gossip for what it’s worth. But the rumors I’ve heard is Swift has had sex but she’s not very good at it. Her attitude reportedly is “I’m famous so you’re privileged just to be here in bed with me.”
Conversation between my wife and I having read this post:
Me: Someone says Ted Nugent claims to have never done drugs or alcohol. Frankly that scares me because if he’s like that straight what would he be like fucked up?
Her: If I was him I’d lie and say I did lots just so I’d have an excuse.
Hmmm, neat.
Hey man, some of us never left the 'Nam
Not completely true. In one of his spoken words bits he talks about having a few drinks when he was 17. He didn’t like it and saw no need to acquire the taste.
But he is the one I came here to mention.
He’s also not gay.
Because he is a thinking and feeling sentient being.
I’ve never heard this. I’ve listened to pretty much every spoken word piece he’s done and I don’t recall him ever mentioning it.
As for the asexuality thing; he has talked about girlfriends and he has talked about having sex. He likes to jerk-off. I don’t think he’s asexual.
I’ve gotten the sense that he is indifferent to sex because it doesn’t happen often for him. He does not seem the sort to suffer fools gladly in the hopes of a blowjob and I suspect he’s not easy to be around.
I hold the man in the highest esteem but I think when it comes to sex either he or the woman or both would be near homicidal in the time it took to get from the front door to the bedroom.

Hey, you don’t need drugs to get f****d up. In Nugent’s case, I’m betting it’s rabies.
You and I may never know. She’s not straightedge, though: An interview in Esquire revealed that she likes alcoholic drinks “that taste like candy.” The interviewer quipped that the issue’s other big story was about single-malt whiskey, and that few things taste less like candy than that.
Ah yes. From my (faulty) memory: “I am Puritan as only an atheist can be. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke and I’ve never paid for sex. (Not with money, anyway. With every fiber of my being, yes.)”
I didn’t read that as “never a drop,” though.
I don’t believe Daltrey has ever claimed that he never used drugs. He’s said that he took pills and smoked marijuana in the '60s but apparently never got really into either.
You know what’s good for that?
Drugs.
Ole Swifty has been with guys plenty as famous/more famous-er than her, so unless she’s a raging slut who’s boinking random guys behind the scene (which, if that’s the case…SIGN ME UP!) so I hesitate to actually believe this.
I’m not necessarily saying I believe the virgin thing either, but I would believe that over what the gossip is since I have no doubts that show biz people probably have it out for her
