Sure, but I have a bank manager friend who is busy doing just that right now. Nothing to do with being a muso.
I do think there are some professions that render people vulnerable because they are, for protracted periods of time, away from their friends, family and other support structures (and people who keep you grounded and tell you're full of it when you are). You get the same thing in some sporting codes as well - notably cricket. However not all musos, and not all cricketers, become alcoholics or drug abusers. Bank managers, brick layers, motor mechanics, IT execs, pro golfers etc etc also have to be careful of all sorts of things as they journey through life.
