Bruce Springsteen has some fanatical fans, but an Australian woman has taken her passion for The Boss to the extreme.
She has pleaded guilty to manslaughter for stabbing her husband to death after an argument over her hero.Karen Lee Cooper was sentenced to eight years in prison for stabbing Kevin Watson in the chest whilst drunk at their home in July 2006.
She told police she tried to play a Springsteen CD and Watson turned it off. The police record quotes Cooper as saying, "I mean, who the hell doesn't like Bruce Springsteen, for God's sake?" She says, "I just picked up a knife and I went 'boom."'
Her lawyer says Cooper called an ambulance and tried to kill herself by swallowing painkillers, and she believes Watson did not deserve to die.
