Does the movie “A Star is Born†have character inspirations of any particular singer's biographies or any singer's personal life story?

In the movie A Star is Born, I couldn't help but notice the resemblance of Bradley Cooper's look to Chad Kroeger and Lady Gaga's look being very similar to Lana Del Rey. I couldn't help but wonder if the movie had any inspirations from the personal lives of these two singers.

The movie is a remake of a remake of a film from1937 all of which deal with the same issues.

@Shalini you might consider rewording your title slightly to emphasize that you are asking about the character inspiration and not the movie inspiration. The way it is worded sounds like you are asking about the inspiration for the movie which is probably why there is confusion and down-voting.

So far I can NOT find a specific influence to Lana Del Rey, but the following is what the film is inspired by...
The film is the forth remake after the original 1937 film of the same name. Others include 1954 musical, 1976 Rock Film, and 2013 Bollywood Film.
Background of the Original 1937 Film:
Some film historians believe that the marriage of Barbara Stanwyck and
Frank Fay was the film's real-life inspiration. John Bowers has also
been identified as inspiration for the Norman Maine character and the
dramatic suicide-by-drowning scene near the end of the film (Bowers
drowned in November 1936). The film contains several inside jokes,
including Gaynor's brief imitations of Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn,
and Mae West; the "Crawford Smear", referring to Joan Crawford's
lipstick; and the revelation that the glamorous Norman Maine's real
last name is Hinkle. (Hinkle was the real last name of silent film
star Agnes Ayres, and not far removed from Fredric March's real last
name, Bickel.)
This film also has many similarities to the earlier film What Price
Hollywood? (1932), released by RKO Radio Pictures. The 1932 film's
original title was The Truth About Hollywood based on a story by Adela
Rogers St. Johns. St. Johns loosely based her plot on the experiences
of actress Colleen Moore and her husband, alcoholic producer John
McCormick (1893–1961), and the life and death of director Tom Forman,
who committed suicide following a nervous breakdown.
However, there are NEW inspirations in the 2018 remake's script, including Kurt Cobain:
In January 2011, it was announced that Clint Eastwood was in talks to
direct Beyoncé in a third American remake of the 1937 film A Star Is
Born; however, the project was delayed due to Beyoncé's pregnancy.
In April 2012, writer Will Fetters told Collider that the script was
inspired by Kurt Cobain. Talks with Christian Bale, Leonardo
DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Will Smith to play the male
lead failed to come to fruition. On October 9, 2012, Beyoncé left the
project, and it was reported that Bradley Cooper was in talks to star.
Eastwood was interested in Esperanza Spalding to play the female
lead.
And there are several Easter Eggs pointing to other inspriations, including homage to Judy Garland 1954 film, Lady Gaga's early career, Lady Gaga's nose, Bradley Cooper's real life dog, Cooper's character's back story inspired by Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Bradley Cooper also shadowed Pearl Jam's front man Eddie Vedder, and more!
