Ross Davidson, 38, once starred in the Queen musical We Will Rock You and was lead singer for 80s legends Spandau Ballet in 2018.
He was found guilty of two rapes, an attempted rape, three sexual assaults and two charges of voyeurism, against six women between 2013 and 2019.
Davidson, who used the stage name Ross Wild and described himself as "sex positive", claimed all the sexual activity was consensual.
Jurors in two separate trials disagreed and he was sentenced today at Wood Green Crown Court in London.
The judge said Davidson had been seen by many as charismatic, but as his career took off was "behaving to women in a wholly disgraceful manner".
Davidson filmed himself during one of the rapes and some of the assaults.
The videos were taken when women were "as vulnerable as can be" and in "such a deep sleep that they could not be disturbed", said prosecutor Richard Hearnden.
They women only found out what happened when police told them.
Mr Hearnden told the court Davidson was a predator who "will resort to rape and sexual assault if he is not given what he thinks he deserves".
He read a book as the court heard statements about the victims' trauma. Three of them were in the room as the sentence was delivered.
'Crippling' ADHD, drugs and alcohol
The Aberdeen-born singer was first convicted of rape, sexual assaults and voyeurism involving four women after a trial in July 2024.
A second trial last January also found him guilty of raping a woman in London in 2015 and an attempted rape and sexual assault of another women in Thailand in 2019.
One said in her impact statement: "Since the rape, my life has been permanently changed. I no longer feel safe or able to trust the world as I once did.
"Ordinary situations can feel threatening, and I live with constant anxiety and hyper-vigilance. Emotionally, I experience fear, sadness, anger, and at times numbness."

Another woman said she was on medication for depression and anxiety and was "guarded and introverted" after previously being a sociable person.
Speaking after sentencing, senior CPS prosecutor Shikha Verma paid tribute to their "immense courage" in supporting the case against the "predatory sex offender".
Davidson's lawyer, Charlotte Newell KC, told the court the singer had gone through a period of "crippling" undiagnosed ADHD and previously used drugs and alcohol to cope.
She said he now had "genuine remorse" and is taking medication for his conditions.
A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 15 and 16, were convicted of manslaughter over the killing of Alexander Cashford in Leysdown-on-Sea, on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, on 10 August last year.
The teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were acquitted of murder.
At the Old Bailey on Thursday the two 16-year-old defendants were jailed for seven years and the 15-year-old boy was jailed for five years over the killing.
Woolwich Crown Court heard the teenagers thought Mr Cashford, 49, was a paedophile and lured him to the beach before hitting him with rocks and a bottle. He was found lying face down in the mud.
Jurors were told the victim had given the girl his number on 8 August after meeting her at an amusement arcade and had handed her a business card, which included a name that was not his.
The three teenagers exchanged messages with Mr Cashford, who claimed to be 30. He asked the girl, who used the alias Sienna, if she liked champagne and added that he wanted to kiss her, the court heard.
After arranging to meet by the sea wall, the older boy said he attacked the victim because he felt police "wouldn't have done anything" if they reported him for trying to meet up with the girl.
The girl shouted "f****** paedophile, I'm f****** 16, get him" as she filmed the boys chasing Mr Cashford.
Never a plan to hit victim
The older boy accepted he wanted to use a bottle he was carrying to hurt the victim, but said he did not believe it would cause "serious injury".
The girl and the younger male defendant said there was never a plan to hit Mr Cashford, the court heard.
A post-mortem examination showed Mr Cashford had injuries to his face and head, bruises on his limbs and body, and several fractured ribs that had punctured his lung.
Parents 'emotionally crushed'
Mr Cashford's parents, David and Linda, said in a statement read out at the sentencing hearing that their son was a "kind, friendly and compassionate person" who cared about local animals and wildlife, and loved all sports.
They said they were "emotionally crushed" and the impact on the family was "practically impossible to put into words".
They added he was the rock in their life and "the slander against Alex's name is particularly difficult, we know this could not be further from the truth".
A statement read from his sister Emma Gould said she has been left an only child and her brother was taken away in a "cruel and violent" way.
"How will I explain to my six-year-old son he will never see his uncle again?," She asked.
Footage posted 'a few minutes after' victim's death
Mobile phone footage showed the boy striking him on the head with the bottle.
After he was arrested, the 16-year-old shared the footage with three people, with the caption: "f***** pedo (sic) up lol", the trial heard.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Kimber, from Kent Police, said: "What we found almost quite macabre is they were keen to post that [attack] on social media only a few minutes after his death."
During the attack, the court heard the 16-year-old boy threw a rock "the size of a cereal bowl", according to an eyewitness.

Danny Moore KC, defending him, asked for the shortest possible sentence, as the boy, who "couldn't have had a harder beginning in life", felt genuine remorse for what he did.
In their evidence, the girl and the younger male defendant said there was never a plan to hit Mr Cashford.
Danny Robinson KC, defending her, told the trial texting Mr Cashford started as a "big laugh", and may have turned "into a desire to expose him as someone who should be named and shamed".
Sentencing the trio in front of a packed public gallery on Thursday, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said she accepted it started out as a "bit of mischief", but turned into "dangerous misconduct which risked and ultimately took a man's life".
Mr Justice Scoffield said the force used was "not reasonable".
He rejected claims the soldiers were reacting to a mass "coordinated" attack on a timber yard where they were based and said radio logs "hugely undermine" that narrative.
A priest, a father-of-six, and three teenagers were killed in the incident in the Springhill and Westrock areas on 9 July 1972.
They were: John Dougal, 16, David McCafferty, 15, Margaret Gargan, 13, Father Noel Fitzpatrick, 42, and Patrick Butler, 38.
The coroner said four of them hadn't been involved in any attacks on the British Army and were unarmed when they were shot.
He was unable to conclude the same for John Dougal, who was in a junior wing of the IRA, but said even if he had a gun he wasn't using it and was probably running away when he was shot in the back.
Father Fitzpatrick and Mr Butler were killed by the same bullet as they attempted to cross the road from an alleyway, the inquest concluded.
Teenager David McCafferty, who was also in the IRA's youth branch, was shot in the back as he tried to retrieve the priest's body.
The soldier who killed all three, referred to as 'Soldier A', was less than 100m away at Corry's Timber Yard and "fired prematurely" without warning and without assessing if they posed any risk, the coroner said.
Margaret Gargan, 13, who was speaking to two friends on the pavement, was shot in the head by 'Soldier E' from the same wood yard.
Once again, the coroner said there was no warning and there had been no firing from her location at the time.
Mr Justice Scoffield said both soldiers had "overreacted and lost control".
Mr Justice Scoffield said the claim that "not one shot had been fired" by civilians before the soldiers opened fire was "much too simplistic".
He acknowledged the soldiers may have been influenced by sporadic civilian firing, but rejected their claim they were reacting to "a co-ordinated attack by a mass of gunmen".
They were young and inexperienced, the coroner added, and had "ignorance" about the political context.
He said the soldiers at the timber yard would also have been "nervous and fearful" as an IRA ceasefire broke down.
Deadliest year of Troubles
The incident happened in the deadliest year in Northern Ireland's history, with almost 500 killed, including 13 infamously shot dead by the British Army on Bloody Sunday.
On 9 July, tensions rose after a ceasefire gave way during unrest in the Lenadoon area of west Belfast.
Families and supporters of those killed - including former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams and West Belfast MP Conor Maskey - earlier walked to Belfast Coroner's Court with a banner reading "time for truth".

The inquest, which heard more than 70 days of evidence, ended in April 2024, just hours before the former government's deadline on Troubles-related cases.
It was the last of a series of investigations completed before the Legacy Act came in - a law Labour is now in the process of replacing.
Today's finding comes after a fresh inquest was ordered in 2014. The original one in 1973 returned an open verdict.
The UK's national threat level has been moved up to severe following a terror attack that saw two Jewish men stabbed in north London.
Golders Green latest: PM met by protesters in wake of double stabbing
There are five different threat levels, with the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) responsible for deciding at which level the UK should sit.
The five terror threat levels are:
• Low - an attack is highly unlikely
• Moderate - an attack is possible, but not likely
• Substantial - an attack is likely
• Severe - an attack is highly likely - this is the UK's current level
• Critical - an attack is highly likely in the near future
JTAC is based at MI5's headquarters in London and is comprised of representatives from 16 government departments and agencies.
It brings together counter-terror experts from the police, government and security agencies.
JTAC also works especially closely with MI5's international counter-terrorism branch, which manages investigations into terrorist activity in the UK.
In deciding on the UK's threat level, JTAC considers:
• The level and nature of current terrorist activity, in comparison with events in other countries and previous attacks.
• What is known about the capabilities of the terrorists in question and the method they may use based on previous attacks or from intelligence.
• The overall aims of the terrorists and the ways they may achieve them including what sort of targets they would consider attacking.
• How close an attack might be to fruition.
How has the threat level changed over the years?
The system was first made public in 2006 and, since then, it has most often been at the severe level, and not been lower than substantial.
The critical level has been in place four times: in August 2006, after a plot to detonate explosives on transatlantic flights; in June 2007, after an attempted car bomb attack at Glasgow airport; and in May and September 2017, after the Manchester Arena bombing and the Parsons Green District line attack, respectively.
It was downgraded to severe a few days after the Parsons Green incident and remained there until being lowered to substantial in November 2019.
The last time the level was raised to severe was in November 2021 after two incidents in the space of a month, the murder of Conservative MP Sir David Amess in October and a car explosion outside a Liverpool hospital on Remembrance Sunday.
It was downgraded back to substantial in February 2022.
Alfie Coleman was just 19 when he was caught in an MI5 sting trying to buy a Makarov semi-automatic pistol, five magazines and 200 rounds of ammunition, with £3,500 saved from his part-time supermarket job.
The Old Bailey heard he branded some of his former fellow staff and shoppers "race traitors" for having partners who were not white, in a list of people who had "upset him", alongside their number plates.
One entry named a checkout-worker, whose husband was mixed race, along with the make and colour of her car, and a description of her as having "short blonde hair with bits of pink in it".
Prosecutors said he believed in an extreme right-wing ideology which included idolising Adolf Hitler and the likes of Thomas Mair, who murdered the MP Jo Cox in a gun and knife attack in 2016.
Counterterrorism officers said Coleman, from the village of Great Notley, in Essex, was trying to buy automatic weapons, which suggested he planned to carry out a mass shooting, with possible targets including mosques.
He had unwittingly been talking to undercover MI5 agents for months on encrypted messaging apps before he was surrounded by officers armed with Tasers in a Morrisons car park in Stratford on 29 September 2023.
Video footage shows him drop to his knees and lie flat on the ground being handcuffed in front of shocked shoppers seconds after he left cash in the front passenger seat footwell of a Land Rover Discovery and collected a holdall from the boot containing the deactivated pistol.
Coleman, now 21, previously pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to possess a prohibited firearm and ammunition, as well as 10 counts of possession of material likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
They included documents such as the White Resistance Manual, The Terrorist Explosives Handbook and 21 Techniques Of Silent Killing.
But he denied he was plotting a terror attack and a jury failed to reach a verdict on the count last year after Coleman said he was now "embarrassed" and "cringing" about the views he expressed.
His barrister Tana Adkin KC said he was a "lonely teenager", who became isolated during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and although he was "obsessed with getting a gun", he was never going to kill anyone.
But Coleman was found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism after a retrial.
Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan, of the Metropolitan Police, said the case demonstrates how young people are being drawn into extremism at a young age.
One in five of those arrested by counter-terrorism police are aged 17 and under, and around half of referrals to the government's anti-radicalisation Prevent scheme now relate to children.
Extreme right-wing ideology
Police found evidence of Coleman's extreme right-wing ideology dating back to when he was 14, when he searched for the Klu Klux Klan.
An analysis of his electronic devices revealed documents relating to extreme right-wing content, weaponry and explosives.
DCS Flanagan said a "key piece of evidence" was his diaries, which outlined plans to carry out a terrorist attack and set out his own manifesto, detailing grievances and motivations behind his actions.
She compared the writings to other extreme right terrorists such as the Charleston Church mass shooter Dylann Roof, Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik and New Zealand mosque terrorist Brenton Tarrant - who he referred to as "warriors".
Coleman identified London mayor Sadiq Khan as a potential target in a written plan but mistakenly included the address of the ceremonial Lord Mayor of London.
He also wrote of putting a bomb in a cash machine and hatched another plot to hijack a plane, which was described "far-fetched and childish" by prosecutors - but they said he was a "man of action".
Coleman came to the attention of police and MI5 in the summer of 2023 as he became increasingly active in extreme right-wing chat groups and enquired about getting a gun.
Undercover agents gained his trust and discussed getting hold of a Skorpion submachine gun and an AK47, as well as ammunition, which he planned to pick up in northern France.
DCS Flanagan said he researched travel to France and "rather ominously" searched the locations of mosques in the area, adding: "It's our belief that he was considering targeting those mosques."
He arranged to travel to France on 6 September but did not go through with the plan, so undercover officers arranged to sell him a Makarov semi-automatic pistol for £3,500, which he saved for working part-time in Tesco.
Police said he was in the "advanced stages of radicalisation" and attack planning so officers had to "take immediate steps to protect the public" and arrested him in the dramatic car park sting.
Items including a collection of knives, a bottle with a rag, and a flag associated with the SS, were found at his home.
In notes written inside prison Coleman drew weapons and neo-Nazi symbols including a swastika, quoted cult leader Charles Manson and wrote: "Under no circumstances will I betray my race for less jail time."
DCS Flanagan said there had been no prior police contact or referrals to the government's Prevent deradicalisation scheme, and there was "absolutely no evidence that his parents had any knowledge of what he was looking at, what he had become involved in, what his mindset was".
"They didn't realise that he had such a dangerous and toxic interest in extreme right-wing ideology," she added.
