"In his 1953 paper “Creativity and Culture,” psychology professor and creativity expert Dr. Morris Stein defined the “creative work” as “a novel work that is accepted as tenable or useful or satisfying by a group in some point in time.” He further explained that a “novel” work is “a creative product that did not exist previously in precisely the same form.”"

"There's also the matter of substance abuse, which is rife in the creative industry.

"Denny Kolsch is a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in addiction and mood related disorders. He blogs for To Write Love On Her Arms, a nonprofit that strives to provide inspiration to those struggling with addiction and mental illness. He says that celebrities are more vulnerable than the general population to drug and alcohol exposure....people of all ages and backgrounds are influenced by others to drink or use drugs.

"Music buffs are likely familiar with the 27 Club. Rather than an actual “club,” this name refers to the belief that a statistically abnormal number of musicians die at the age of 27. In many cases, their death relates to substance abuse. Some cases also involve violent means of death, such as suicide or even murder. Statisticians tend to disagree that the 27 Club presents any true statistic abnormalities. But according to Charles R. Cross, biographer of Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix: “The number of musicians who died at 27 is truly remarkable by any standard. [Although] humans die regularly at all ages, there is a statistical spike for musicians who die at 27.”"
