Ozzy hung a midget onstage.
Ozzy killed a bunch of dobermans onstage with a chainsaw.
(This was was kinda gruesome and apparently very specific to my school)
Jimi Hendrix always wore headbands because he had cut on his forhead that he would jam drugs into
(which makes no sense on a number of levels but we didn't really know shit about Hendrix or drugs at the time)
W.A.S.P. stands for either A) We Are Satan's People or B) We Are Sexual Perverts

Two GG Allin suicide-on-stage stories - 1) he was going to go onstage firing a machine gun, or 2) he was going to shove a stick of dynamite up his ass and light it, then jump into the crowd. TBH there are enough real documented on film incidents of Allin crapping on stage, drinking pee from a bottle, etc., that just about anything is believable about him.
Luther Vandross didn't invent the Luther burger, but was a bit fan of them, and (here's the sketchy bit) he invented the practice of turning over the donut halves so that the icing is on the inside, because he was fed up of getting sticky fingers.

The stomach pump story mentioned several times upthread probably existed as an urban legend about a random cheerleader before it was attached to any pop star:

According to the Snopes page on the pop star version of the story it's also been told of Jon Bon Jovi, which sounds a bit odd to me. I've never heard of him having a "gay" reputation.

Btw, I've heard the "gross-out contest" story mentioned upthread being told of Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa. The version I heard was that they were on stage at the same time (the story doesn't explain why they would have shared a stage), and decided to have a contest on who could the grossest thing in front of the audience. So Alice Cooper pulls down his pants and shits on the stage, then gets up with a smile on his face, thinking he has won. But then Zappa eats the shit.
