Back to the OP: nope, the artist's personal life doesn't affect my liking their music and wouldn't prevent me from listening to it.
I do have to say, however, that I was poking around in the Megan's Law database (for registered sex offenders) and was pretty surprised to see a famous rock musician listed in there—AND doubly surprised to see he lived relatively close to me! Due to the agreement with using that database, I won't mention his name, but some of the songs he's recorded are some of my favorites and that didn't change on knowing his record.
