What if you painted a picture of some random made-up person doing something objectionable? No harm is done. If you paint a real recognisable person, they can object if it harms them in any way. A famous person's likeness is valuable to them and so they will necessarily want to control any use of it. Just in case you were going to pass it off as an 'official' image, or use it in a commercial context eg to endorse a product, or portray them in a way they don't like, or something.
But if it was on a 'Canadian Rock Band Fan Club' website they might not object, if it was not in any other way objectionable...
(I'm at work and can't view the image so I can't see the merits of it)
