Pertaining to the original Topic question .. nope, I wouldn't have survived most likely, and never wanted it that way.
Being 'famous' for anything is a really challenging situation.

I'd much rather have been a studio guy that got to meet/play with the greats, but not a front man.
I learned that about myself very early on.
Fame is not easy, much as some people seem to covet it.

Being rich is a different discussion. It comes with its own fair share of challenges.
I'd prefer rich over famous TBH, but being famous was never a goal for me.
And I accomplished it so far.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
