Chumbawamba using their money to raise awareness for environmental abuses of the auto industry is pretty hypocritical, because don't they travel in cars, buses, etc, when they go on tour?
Edit
The Numan Principle is a band that strictly does covers of Gary Numan songs. Whether or not the band is still in existence is not known.
Edit
Gary Numan originally belonged to the punk band Tubeway Army. One day when he went into the studio with them to record a new album, he found a synthesizer someone left behind from a previous session, which eventually led him to record "Cars".
Edit
Rob Parissi (of Wild Cherry) sued Vanilla Ice for his remake of "Play That Funky Music" without giving him credit and won a settlement of over $500,000.

Gary Numan: Becoming famous was so much easier than staying famous.
Edit
Rob Parissi: [The] second album sold much less than the first, the third album sold much less than the second, and the fourth album... [Chuckles] I think it was out there and maybe all the copies came back except for, like, six. My mom has three.
Edit
Rob Parissi: [Wild Cherry] would play our usual sets, which was, like, rock/dance stuff, but there were some black people in the audience, and they would come up and start kidding us, and saying, "You white boys gonna play any funky music?"
