From James Arthur to Johnny Borrell - 11 career-killing moments
What the hell were these artists thinking?
Chris Brown: This is a strange one. Depressingly, since assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, Brown has found an astonishing level of fame and success. However, the world at large refuses to forgive Mr Brown and his reputation continues to deteriorate. Add that to his scrapping with Drake and Frank Ocean and it paints a pretty unfortunate picture.

Ah, it looks like it be might be curtains for James Arthur's career. Amid disgrace, scandal and accusations of homophobia, racism and generally being a nasty piece of work, Frankie Boyle's prediction of the former X Factor winner appearing in panto next year may very well come true as any kind of recovery looks unlikely, to say the least.
But Arthur is not alone - there have been plenty of artists whose poor choice of words, wreckless behaviour, daft mistakes, ill-judged decisions, misunderstood intention or just damn unfortunate mishaps have damaged their careers irreparably.
Many of these artists are still around, but their success and reputations will never be the same again. From James Arthur and Chris Brown to Johnny Borrell and Janet Jackson - here are 11 artists who have suffered career-killing events.
