Musicians have historically been known for their loose belts when it comes to their sexual activity, but who are the most promiscuous rock stars in the industry? In the world of rock-and-roll, groupies are never far away, presenting a major temptation for male and female artists alike. However, while some celebrities keep their love affairs out of the spotlight, others proudly carry their crowns as infamous tigers on the prowl for a quick thrill.
Just like music has its most controversial songs of all time, which we covered in an article last month, the controversy is also a big part of these artists life. While the women on this list will certainly be subject to more scrutiny for their promiscuous behavior, the men have become icons for their ability to seduce just about anyone they set their eye on. With a James Bond allure, many of the most promiscuous rock stars were linked to models and graceful actresses, but there’s also a fair share of groupie-love and prostitution at hand, characteristic of the music industry.
From young hip-hop stars to rock icons and pop-sensations, let’s take a look at which celebrities proudly live out their sexuality with no shame and all game. These are eight of the most promiscuous rock stars around.
8. John Mayer
This California native with a pretty face made a fortune by cultivating a romantic singer-songwriter image, which helped him sell millions of albums. But when it comes to his love life, John Mayer has certainly been around the block a few times. He prefers his conquests young, beautiful, famous and at least somewhat talented, counting Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Love Hewitt among some of his many lovers in the past few years.
Seven more legendary Lotharios (and Lothariets?) are yet to come on our list of the most promiscuous rock stars. Keep reading on the next page.
7. Chris Brown
The hot-headed rapper is probably more famous for physically abusing his ex-girlfriend and co-superstar Rihanna in 2009 than for his music. But his bad-boy reputation apparently worked in his favor, as he has since been spotted with model Karrueche Tran, and then back with Rihanna. However, he’s also known for inviting groupies back to his room to indulge in his regular drug escapades.
6. Rihanna
Ironically enough, Chris Brown’s back and forth lover Rihanna is next on the promiscuity ranking. The singer from Barbados has a reputation for being a heartbreaker and serious seductress, with a knack for flings and one-night stands. Pharrell Williams, Drake, A$AP Rocky and Justin Bieber are just a few of this lioness’ long list of lovers.
5. Rita Ora
Once Rihanna’s tabloid best friend, the British singer is regularly in the spotlight for her promiscuous love life. Her list of conquests includes some of Hollywood’s biggest names, like Bruno Mars, Supermodel Cara Delevingne, Rob Kardashian, Calvin Harris, Dave Gardner and Ricky Hil. After concluding her relationship with Rob Kardashian, he claimed that she had slept with 20 different men in the course of a year. Quite the cougar you are, Miss Ora!
4. Lil Wayne
The rapper who goes by Weezy and managed to make face tattoos an acceptable look is also quite the womanizer. He’s stated that he keeps a list of all the girls he sleeps with, but doesn’t like to kiss and tell. Apart from his baby mama’s Lauren London and Antonia Carter, he also dated Adrienne Bosh, Karren Steffans, Megan Good, Skyler Diggins, Christina Milian and several others.
3. Janis Joplin
One of the most legendary singers of all time, this Texas native was a huge advocate of the hippie movement and exercised her will to love freely with no shame. Although she had trouble maintaining any relationship for too long, she was linked to Leonard Cohen, Peggy Caserta, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, James Gurley and many more.
2. Mick Jagger
A living rock-and-roll legend, the Rolling Stones front man has one of the most astonishingly long lists of lovers in the entire industry. He counts a total of 4,000 women who have lain in his bed up until today. The list includes some of the most gorgeous females to grace the earth, such as Edie Sedgwick, Pat Cleveland, Farrah Fawcett, Chrissie Shrimpton, Linda McCartney, Uschi Obermaier, Bianca Jagger, and Jerry Hall…need I continue?
1. Gene Simmons
The Kiss singer tops our list of most promiscuous rock stars, with the ground-breaking number of 4,600 sexual partners! The Israeli-born bass-guitarist’s reputation as a womanizer even earned him the nickname Dr. Love, as well as a lovely collection of Polaroid’s, taken after each roll in the hay. However, at the age of 64 he has finally settled down with his long-time girlfriend and Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed. The couple married in 2011.
