Mojo piece this month reveals that Scott Walker became a painter and decorator in the post Climate of Hunter period.
'Though Walker began work on an album produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois in March 1985, the project was rapidly aborted. Later, the singer made one of his infrequent visits to his manager. “I said, What have you been up to?” recalls Bicknell. “And he said, ‘I’ve been painting.’ I said, Oh, oils or watercolours? He said, ‘No, man, walls.’ He’d been working as a decorator. He could, at any point, have put The Walker Brothers back together and done the nostalgia circuit, but he would rather, literally, get up a ladder with a pot of Dulux and paint somebody’s flat and get a few quid."'

stretching the term "rock star" here, maybe, but Hailu Mergia deserves a mention.

I saw Tommy Tutone on one of those "Where are they now?" VH1 things and he's just a regular office worker whose coworkers apparently razz all the time
gotta say though he's got one hell of a "fun fact" whenever they make him introduce himself
