  • Music trends can be fleeting. One day, you’re the hottest new act in the world, and the next, you’re struggling to stay relevant. If you’re a musician who has a meteoric rise to success, it’s easy to spend like you’ll always have money to burn, but it can all come crashing down when the fame fades.
    Plenty of rock stars have lost almost all of their money and ended up in some pretty unfortunate situations over the years, like the American singer who declared bankruptcy over a bad recording contract or the Libertines rocker who went on a downward spiral. Let’s take a look at some rock stars who lost all their money.

      The Courtney Love part is non sense and her biological father Hank Harrison was the long time manager of the Grateful Dead themselves, making millions over the years in their best days 60's and 70's. Love was raised in luxury, and has never been broke or close to broke. Even Dave Grohl was from a prominent political family in Washington DC, but fan sheep think he was from Seattle Washington ! No, the other way around it was Washington DC.

If Petty had just postponed his last concert and allowed his broken hip to heal properly (we don't heal as fast in our sixties nor do we metabolize medicstions/drugs as quickly as when we're young) then he'd still be singing and playing and able to retire comfortably. Talk about running down a drain.

      Stephen Tyler said on Joe Rogan, he only started to see real cha ching $$ when he was a judge on BGT.

    You might remember The Mamas and the Papas. When they broke up and went to collect their money from the record company (Dunhill/Warner Bros.), they learned that each one of the (4) members owed $250,000. 1968 dollars. Probably over a million dollars a piece in today's dollars. Denny Doherty told me this himself when we were working together on a stage musical. They put out another album to cover the deficit. It didn't do as well as their previous albums, but covered the debt. He was a very sweet guy with a great sense of humour, but totally cynical about the Biz. No wonder! RIP, Denny.

    I read David Bowie saw very little of the money from his awesome 70's work thanks to RCA swindeling him. After wrangling his way outta RCA he then released the global hit album "Lets Dance" in '83 and really started to earn. His revenge was better still when later in the '90's he secured then resold the rights to his entire back catalogue for around 50 000 000, whilst retaining future royalties and all rights to commercial use of his music. At the time of his death his wealth was estimated to be around half a billion dollars. Clever guy. RIP Dave

      This what you call brought back down to earth. When you had it all and a few hundred k's seems very little to a once rich person who doesn't nt know the meaning of being broke and living an average lifestyle.
      I'm a qualified able seaman fisherman in south africa who earns round about R200000 ($15000) annually and drowns in debt. I lost a lot of money from people owing me especially relatives due to my kindness that left me financially and emotionally unstable.
      I'm reduced to living in a shack coz I can't afford to own a decent house. But hey as long as my family have a roof over their heads, food in their tummies I'll be alright.
      I still believe that I'll be blessed someday

A couple of young musicians from buffalo, NY with humble beginnings and overcoming such adversity. Im glad to see your still together and priorities have changed. May God Bless the members of the Goo Goo dolls and their families. I love you Goo Goo Dolls. Thank you for all you do and being kind to your fans and remembering us back home.
    Lots of love and prayers on your journey may God draw you out of the world and it’s influences into a loving relationship with Him to be filled with his love and peace to direct your paths and find that God draws us out of our trials and tribulations and the broken roads leading us straight to Him.
    To save us from destruction and be reconciled back to him through receiving the perfect loving gift Jesus Christ. May your blessings and gifts bestowed upon you show and glorify God that is my prayer for the Goo Goo dolls.
