Here are five rock musicians from the 1970s<\/a> that never drank alcohol or did drugs.<\/p>\n When you think of rock\u00a0‘n’ roll in the 1970s, it\u2019s almost impossible not to picture backstage chaos, late-night parties and performances fueled by copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. T<\/p>\n he musicians we idolize weren\u2019t just celebrated for their unforgettable talent and musicianship, they were also often legendary for their ability to push the boundaries of indulgence.

While the era’s excess dominates memories of the time, there were musicians who achieved remarkable feats and influenced generations all without succumbing to the vices you might think.
