From an Amazon music chat-list: “I always wonder how they would have faired in the years to come if John Bonham hadnt passed away.”
Googling “faired” yields about 523k hits, a substantial portion of which are this substitution. Probably only a misspelling in most cases, but it’s easy to imagine that someone could be eggcorning; “faired” could signify something like “getting along FAIRly well”—so, maybe an eggcorn in some cases, though it’d be hard to prove.
