Do you judge musicians on their personal lives and actions?

When it comes to breakin' the Law, there have been a number of 'Criminals' who despite their convictions continue to ply their chosen trade in the fields of musical and/or Screen entertainment.
Drugs have always been a part of Rock n Roll, and the taking of such somewhat 'par for the course'
Whilst the decisions made on their actions, and your acceptance of such, these transtransgressions are; the on the whole, against the individual themself.
But would you / could you / do you / fel the same when it comes to affecting others?
 

As well as the Murderous:
Sid Vicious (self admitted) and Phil Spector
There are the Physical abusers, Ike Turner, Will Smith - Mental and physical assault,

There are the Sex Crimers:
Gary Glitter - Numerous counts of Sex crimes with children
R. Kelly - Sex crimes of exploitation with children
Jonathon King - Sex crimes with children
Tupac - 1st degree Sexual abuse
- and lest we not forget the fury there was against Jerry Lee Lewis 'underage marriage ('once upon a time ago)
  • Do your separate their Music/songs from your favour - OR,
  • Separate their music from their criminality?
 
If musicians have been tried and convicted of a violent crime, then I AM going to judge them as criminal. They don’t get a pass from me just because they are a musician.
