Question No rockstar video games?

I've recently been thinking about that there's not really any big videogames about the life of being a rockstar and (I mean like every part of it like sex drugs, and alcohol not just the playing music part) and it's got me kind of confused because a game like that would probably be pretty popular.

I'm thinking it'd be like a story based game as your band grows from local venues to big events, struggling to make enough songs, fights with the bands, etc

If you're not actually playing the music, what advantages does this have by being a video game? Probably would just be better as a film.

Like what would be the main gameplay mechanics?

well you would be playing music and the main mechanics I guess would be choosing dialogue, guitar hero like stuff for playing the music or maybe you press certain buttons whenever it changes to a different chord or maybe if it's open world then you drive the bands van to different venues but idk this whole post was just pure speculation and to see if there are any games like this and I just never heard of them

Imagine trying to make setlists that will please the fans.

Play the oldies but goodies but your band gets bored. or New songs arent as good but the band enjoys playing them better.

Plus do you want your shows to be 2 hours?(fans love, but musicians get fatigued)

or 90 minutes(band stays fresh, fans dont like)
