OZZY OSBOURNE’S DRUG-ADDLED live shows. Jimi Hendrix’s ever-present purple haze. Keith Richards. Willie Nelson. Snoop Dogg. Music, booze, and drugs have long been inseparable, with vice, hedonism, and excess being part of life on the road. But a new band of artists is changing all of that.
These guys are hitting the gym instead of the bottle (or the bong) before performances. They’re organizing run clubs with fans that double as sweaty after-parties. Like pro athletes, they’re hiring trainers and nutritionists to help them achieve and maintain peak fitness.
And they’re riding the post-pandemic wellness wave to ever more prominent abs and pecs. Check out the lineup below and you’ll get a backstage pass to the workout wonders of funk icon Lenny Kravitz, 62; electronic dance music star Diplo, 47; rap titan Gunna, 33; rap-country phenom Shaboozey, 31; and many other super-fit musicians.
Encore! Music + Muscle
