It doesn't have to be sudden; it could be over time, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a negative change.
Syd Barrett is the first one that comes to mind. Jim Morrison seemed to change a bit, maybe doing things he didn't want to do, but having external pressures, as well as his heavy drinking which I read was because he couldn't sleep, and wanted to shut up the demons in his head, but I don't think it was as drastic as Syd's.

Brian Wilson, though that was more a gradual mental breakdown, and Eddie Van Halen seemed to get a bit loopy.

Away from substances, do you know of any with a personality change from creative and friendly to really embittered and cynical after being ripped off?
Most Prog people seem humble. But you must know of more cases than I've heard!

I didn't notice a personality change.. He always seems nice and laidback.
