On 20 August 2004, Rob Tinsley, a man from Stoke-on-Trent, England, filed for divorce because his wife was madly in love with Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams.

For years, he spent trying to cope with his wife’s obsession with the singer. The man said he had to live with a 6-ft cutout of Adams that stood at the foot of the bed and posters on the bedroom walls.

Everything she did was for Adams.
