10 music stars who never had drug meltdowns
BECK
Considering that his break-out album just happens to share a name with a coveted varietal of marijuana -- that would be “Mellow Gold,” people -- one can reasonably guess that Beck has inhaled and possibly deeply on many occasions. But hey, we don’t know anything for sure. This Scientologist is guilty for abusing kitschy samples but not much else. (Luis Sinco / LAT)
MOBY
Though part of an electronic music scene that often celebrates drug culture, Moby has seemingly remained immune. Apart from a puzzling feud with Eminem in the early ‘00s, the devout Christian, vegetarian and animal rights activist doesn’t lead the life of a tabloid target. (Evan Agostini / Getty Images)
BARRY MANILOW
Even in his ‘70s heyday, it was difficult to imagine the man who “writes the songs” behaving outside of his good-guy crooner image. Though it’s a little fun to try -- picture Barry Manilow storming out of the venue after a big “Copacabana” finish and robbing a liquor store in a cocaine-addled rage. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

BEYONCE
Though certainly “Dangerously In Love” (with her high-profile fella Jay-Z), the former leader of Destiny’s Child doesn’t put her self in harm’s way with regard to her habits. Good thing too -- who has time for a habit between all the solo albums and awards shows? (Kevork Djansezian / AP)
