Britney Spears managed to get to the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, collect all three awards for which she was nominated (for her album Blackout) including video of the year - and not ruin the occasion, as she did last year by reeling through a song in an apparent daze.

By the admittedly low standard she has set for herself recently, this counts as a triumph. Indeed, by anyone’s standards: she has, after all, come up with an album that received not just near-unanimous critical praise but now three awards. The press is hailing it as her comeback (”Mission Accomplished” says gossip blogger Perez Hilton, formerly one of her fiercest critics). She must be fairly compos mentis to have made such a cracking record, right?

Wrong. It’s entirely possible for an artist to produce exceptional work without being in the pink of mental health. David Bowie was mired in a serious cocaine habit when he made Young Americans, heroin addict Iggy Pop kick-started punk rock with the album Raw Power and acid casualty Syd Barrett is one of the towering figures of English music.
