Manufactured musicians have a higher chance of failure later in life than real and talented self made musicians.
The hype machine was strong in the 80's to the early 2000's with boy bands (backstreet boys, boys to men etc) and girl bands (bangles, spice girls etc). When the hits stop coming and their fame fades, what else do they have? They've gotten used to the glitz and attention and then it all stops. "Okay, back to Starbucks".... Or some retro reunion tour with flappy armed ladies paying $20 and reliving their own past.
Drugs and alcohol are prominent in this realm. "Take this, it'll help you cope. Drink this, it'll take the edge off..."
This poor kid didn't stand a chance.
