Tony Kanal is No Doubt a vegan; further, even though Gwen Stefani and he "Don't Speak" about their past relationship, he does speak up, ardently, about animal cruelty.

Leona Lewis
According to Green Planet, she first became vegetarian as a conscientious, dedicated 12 year old, and is now,"bleeding love" for pure veganism. As a testament to Leona's concern for animals, she supports the Essex based Hopefield Animal Sanctuary.

Jared Leto If it takes 30 Seconds to Mars, he'll at least have vegan snacks for the trip. Leto and his entire band espouse veganism as a lifestyle choice. Jared is not just a great looking, talented, successful musician, but also a humanitarian, animal welfare advocate, environmentalist and philanthropist among many other great attributes. According to The Examiner, he is a proud non-drinker and non-smoker. He loves animals, fights the illegal wildlife trade as a global WWF representative, and is one of my biggest inspirations.

This vegan Chicago punk band musician (the whole band is vegetarian) will not hesitate to Rise Against human and animal cruelty. As reported by AP (Alternative Press), they question the human condition to ponder with dismay in their song "People Live Here".

Jona Weinhofen
Jona would say Bring Me The Horizon without meat, or after his departure from the band in 2013, the line would probably be 'I Killed The Prom Queen but I save animals'. I'm not much of a fan of him, but can't deny that he is an outspoken, relentless advocate for a meatless existence. This devout vegan is very vocal about a cruelty free living as evidenced by several interviews on YouTube, Peta, VGN Teen and several other media outlets. Weinhofen is beautiful inside and out, and the world is lucky to have him.

Bring Me The Horizon band member, is also an advocate for animals and leads a vegan lifestyle. Oli and his wife Hannah Pixie Sykes, despite being amazing artists and vegans, are also know to adopt various animals in need. If you would like to know more about their lifestyle and adorable pets, I can recommend to follow them on Instagram:

Davey Havok
Havok sang, "I Hope You Suffer" but clearly not the animals! He fights for a cruelty free world and vegan lifestyle; moreover, incredibly, his Whole band, AFI'S, Hunter Burgan (3rd Bass guitarist) included, is vegan.

Alison Mosshart
The Kills absolutely nothing that goes on her vegan plate. On a side-note, the band has also released an amazing new track 'Heart Of A Dog'. Among others Alison is also the lead vocalist for super-group The Dead Weather. Both bands are definitely worth a listen!

Miley Cyrus
She definitely didn't need Hannah Montana to tell her to become a vegan.

Morrissey
"Meat is Murder" is not only sung by this The Smiths artist, he lives by it! Morrissey stated in a Peta interview, that he became a vegetarian at the age of 11 and followed his mom to anti-hunt rallies. Admirably, not only does Morrissey encourage a cruelty free meatless existence, he lives the lifestyle exactly what he preaches. Morrissey promoted veganism way before it became a "thing"!

Jason Mraz
"I'm Yours" meat free, of course! This vegan, avocado farmer, alternative rock musician makes great music and has a big heart because he adopted a rescue animal.

Travis Barker
This talented Blink 182 drummer definitely looks out for "All The Small Things" through his strictly vegan way of living. Whoever can't get enough of Barker, can look forward to a new album from Blink 182 (minus Tom DeLonge) this year.

Moby
"We Are All Made Of Stars" especially animals! Moby's life
and passion is all about a cruelty free vegan world. He definitely practices what he advocates as proved by,The Little Pine, his quaint, earthy, successful, vegan restaurant.

Thom Yorke
"Fake Plastic Trees" do not help the animal kingdom, nor the planet, but Thom certainly does by not eating our beloved animals. "The Karma Police" would reward him for his dedication to animal welfare and environmental issues. Yorke is one of the loudest voices in the music industry who advocates for animal rights and anti-animal cruelty. He is also a defender of human rights and is vehemently anti-war.
Without Radiohead's Thom Yorke, the world would have one less sparkle.
Weird Al Yankovic
This cruelty-free vegan, human rights campaigner, parody singer might seem all fun and games, but he doesn't play when it comes to being a voice for animals despite the title of his new album "Mandatory Fun"! As reported by Green Planet, Weird Al stated, in an interview, the best ever way to rationalize not eating meat as follows: "People will continue to eat meat no matter how much you tell people all over the world not to eat meat. The defining moment and enlightenment will only come when they realise, before meat reaches their plate, that they are consuming a living being with real feelings and emotions with a family just like us. The empathetic connection must be inherent in order to stop cruel factory farming."
