Have you ever watched the NY Doll Documentary about the one that joined the Mormon Church.
He became so devout he wouldn't even drink caffeinated drinks.

From Suicidal Rock Star to Rock Solid Mormon: New York Dolls' Arthur Kane's Incredible Conversion Story

After attempting to commit suicide, Arthur Kane was sitting in his hospital when he saw an ad for a free copy of The Book of Mormon. He studied the book, and when he prayed to know if it was true, Kane described the answer he received as an “LSD trip from the Lord.”

"The New York Dolls combined the swagger of the Stones, the raw sounds of the Stooges, the glam of Bowie, and the campy attitude of girl groups into gritty rock and roll that inspired the punk movement and influenced generations of musicians." - Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
