Romance and rock'n'roll come together, all hell tends to break loose. Egos, drugs, booze, court battles all play their part and we all get to read about it in the papers. Here are ten of the most tempestuous relationships in music.

Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson:

They met on a beach and were married in weeks. But thanks to a leaked tape of them getting down to it on a boat, not to mention Tommy's violent temper, it was all over within three years...

Peter Andre and Katie Price:

He seems like a fundamentally nice bloke, if a little stupid. She is symbolises everything that's wrong with celebrity culture. Basically they met on a reality show, then made another one about themselves, and are now dragging their split through the media, too. Very dull.

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss:

Kate Moss likes a rock star and even though Pete was a drug-addled car crash waiting to happen, she still fell for him. There were drugs, fights, more drugs, more fights and that went on and on until they eventually split.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono:

After four years of a marriage that effectively ended the most important band in the history of the universe, Lennon went on his “lost weekend,” which, at 18-months long, is the kind of weekend we'd all like to be honest. His was spent with his personal assistant May Pang and was apparently at Yoko's suggestion.

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown:

The bad boy got it on with the angel in 1992. A succession of drugs, violence and arrests ensued and they finally divorced in 2007, although Whitney looks to be bearing the scars still.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne:

The Prince of Darkness is now managed by his Mrs and to great effect, too. But it's a miracle they're still together given the drugs, booze and the fact he once tried to strangle her.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson:

No surprise that this one made the headlines. LiLo has a chequered history on the dating front but pulling Mark Ronson's sister was certainly a turn-up for the books. More on and off than your average light-switch.

Rihanna and Chris Brown:

An unforgivable physical attack from Brown left Rihanna looking battered and bruised, and with much public sympathy on her side she ditched her man. However mounting speculation suggests that they might be getting back together.

Max Drummey and Peaches Geldof:

Bob Geldof's wild child brat of a kid married little known member of the band Chester French in a 15-minute Las Vegas ceremony. As you do when you are 12. After a mere 186 days it was all over.

Nas and Kelis:

The rapper and his milkshake-laden wife knocked it on the head this year before the birth of their child. She has accused him of abandoning her. Arguments over finances are currently in full swing.
