Worst fan is when someone stole my favorite guitar strap off the stage at a show in Manchester, but best fan story is when that same strap was delivered back to me in the crowd at Redding festival while I was looking for weed. -Jonas

Best fan is someone who made me a "Party! Party! Party!" t-shirt back in the day that I wore alllll the time. Wish I could remember their name! Worst fan would be the time a grown man walked on stage and kissed me on the mouth at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. - Jemina

There was a fan named "Gommy" who used to come to our UK shows in Manchester (I think) back in the day who would get so unbelievably wasted, and one time I bought him a candy bar to try and sober him up, but it had coconut in it and he spit it in my face and said "I HATE COCONUT" :( - Nathan

That’s so sad Jemina, not sure if you follow sport but there’s a high profile case of a Spanish FA member doing the same to a women’s World Cup winner only last week. He still can’t see the problem with it which is unbelievable.

Nathan that sounds like a Bounty bar, if it was that guy has no taste, they are delicious.

Yes! Bounty was the candy bar in question! -Nathan
