I think it is a result of what they call "Fame Drain". Many Rock Stars do massive amounts of drugs when fame is at its peak, and they also do massive amounts of drugs to cope with the loss of fame.

These Rock Star types spend years filling arenas and having their every whim catered to.

Fast forward 25 years, they struggle to fill bars, state fairs and small venues, and all the groupies are divorced 50 year old women with missing teeth.

The massive drug use probably don't help either. Even Multimillionaires get depression over the loss of adulation.
