Name some artists that did heroin, I'm doing a research project on different drugs and their associations with bands and I'm struggling to think of many for heroin (outside of Ministry).

Pic possibly related, I think The Sisters of Mercy did it but I have no confirmation.

funny thing is his stomach problems were actually BECAUSE of him using heroin, which gave him an excuse to keep doing more and more

Sublime

You instantly feel no pain, mental or otherwise. You feel euphoria instead. You drift between being awake and a dreamlike state. When it wears off you feel like complete shit, are depressed and anxious and in physical pain, thus you go get more heroin. The cycle continues.

literally fucking everyone

Dylan Carlson of Earth, Damon Albarn from Blur/Gorillaz, a bunch of jazz guys, and loads more.

I'm really surprised that no one from Sonic Youth didn't do heroin or any other kind of drug.

A little bit under the radar, but Josh Brown of Full Devil Jacket had an overdose while on tour. He quit music for a while and cleaned up, starting Day of Fire before finally reforming FDJ a few years ago.

Phil Anselmo had an OD while on tour.

I know the drummer from Flaming Lips spiked up.

Did the guy from Marcy Playground do heroin or was it just opium?

Steven Drozd, Flaming Lips drummer, was really into heroine. He ended up getting an infection in his hand and had to go to the hospital so he wouldn't lose it. He told Wayne that it was a spider bite and the resulting lyrics were entirely genuine but now that wayne lnows they are tounge-in-cheek.
>>
No one has said Nico yet?

>>69140628
Damon Albarn did a lot of heroin in the late 90's while recording 13 and Gorillaz self-titled album. He's talked in a few interviews about his habit and schedules during that time, and how it changed his life. He claims it made him much more creative, and though he stopped doing it and doesn't really encourage it, he can't deny it changed his life for the better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1kBlZ2T-9I This song's about when he did heroin with his ex girlfriend (IIRC she had left him before it was written)

I know they're from Yugoslavia so this might not be too helpful but "Ekatarina Velika" were a famous band that's sort of always the first to come to mind when someone mentions that. Also look up Sarlo Akrobata, and other bands from the "novi talas" movement.

BLACKLODGE

Around 2001, Saint Vincent overdosed on heroin and had a Vision of SataN communicating with him through his computer, and sending him on a mission to spread his memes through music so that His total reign would come, enslaving humanity through technology and medication under a totalitarian worldwide government and leading humanity to a global nuclear war from which only the TemplaRs (wizards who escaped SataN's dominion by communicating with him through massive drug use) would survive intact, and rule over a people of irradiated mutants with their magick.
