Sex changes, killing cats, breaking legs: the most extreme fans ever
How far will fans go to be like their pop icons?
- The Wanted: Boyband The Wanted were understandably freaked out by a fan who ate a lock of member Jay McGuiness''s hair. The girl had a pair of scissors when meeting the band and asked if she could cut off a lock of Jay''s hair. When he said yes, she cut the hair and then swallowed it, before saying "You''ll be with me forever." Probably one of the creepiest fans ever.
