It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?

Feel free to answer if you’re in the opposite scenario: an artist who you love personally but don’t enjoy their artwork.

Feel free to respond more than just music artists!

    Graham Lineham was controversial for years before he was ‘cancelled’. A prime example of a talented writer who needed a PR team to keep him away from the general public.

    Father Ted, Black Books, IT Crowd. These are all gems that I always enjoy rewatching.

      This one is really a shame. Anything with his name on it used to be guaranteed laughs, but now I see the name and it feels tainted.
