MATCHBOX TWENTY - ROB THOMAS A HUGE 24 FAN

MATCHBOX TWENTY frontman ROB THOMAS is such a huge fan of hit US TV drama 24, he has tapes mailed to him if he ever misses an episode.

The 33-year-old rocker admits he's obsessed with the KIEFER SUTHERLAND show, and he refuses to let any of the series' installments pass him by.

He says, "I (record) it every week. And if I miss an episode, I'm so set up because my manager is good friends with Kiefer Sutherland, so they can send me a tape within days of it airing.

"Last time I was in LA - Sutherland is a fan - they invited me to watch them film. And I couldn't go because our schedule was too tight."

Thomas' wife MARISOL is also a huge fan of the show - though for different reasons.

He adds, "She's got some weird crush on Kiefer Sutherland."
