I've had people turn up to book signings with knives, with guns.
There's a lot of good fans out there, but there's also a lot of bad - I don't want to say bad people, but a lot of people who just want to try to get on your nerves and stuff like that, man.
I hear about stars being torn to pieces by fans. It never happened to me and I never saw it happen to anyone else.
You are going to have hostile crowds and the fans are going to find out where you are staying and keep you awake at night. They are going to use everything possible.
There are a lot of bad people in football, and players can be afraid to go to stadiums and get abused.
I have had quite a few obsessive fans. They write to me and then they turn up at signings and look really sheepish. If I said 'boo' to them, they would run away. I think they maybe believe I could take over their lives and sort them out. If they saw the state of my kitchen they wouldn't think that.
A couple of fans followed my sister and I all the way to the airport from a live show that we did in Canada. Our driver had to pull over and fake a turn to lose them, but they actually showed up in the airport just before we went through customs.
I've had fans try and jump the guard rail. I've had fans key my car. I've had fans try to stab me.
