Slipknot are fans of Susan Boyle

SLIPKNOT have paid an emotional tribute to Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle.

Frontman Corey Taylor said he was mesmerised when he watched Boyle's first appearance on the TV talent show.

And he admitted he is a big fan of the 48-year-old reality star.

He said: "Susan Boyle is incredible. Somebody told me about the show and I said, 'I have got to see this - I Dreamed A Dream, are you kidding me?'

"I put it on and she was fantastic. The people on that panel were in tears! When Susan leans into it she's great."

Taylor added that her recent meltdown, which saw her admitted to The Priory rehab clinic suffering from exhaustion, only added to her charm.

He said: "She's a little bit crazy, but aren't we all? Anyone who's worth their salt is a little bit bent out of shape."
