Paul Smith's mother is one of Maximo Park's most devoted fans.
Maximo Park frontman Paul Smith has claimed that his band's number one fan is his mum.
The singer told the Sun that his mother follows everything the group does with a thoroughness which borders on professional.
Smith said: "She could be our press agent. She cuts everything out. She'll even record a split second on the radio when the DJ says 'And that was Maximo Park'."
He also claimed that his mother has the ability to find out facts about the band that even he is unaware of.
However, the musician told the newspaper that Maximo Park's fans include more than just his family, revealing that Sophie Ellis Bextor and Mel C have both turned up to their shows in the US.
In a recent interview with Gigwise, Smith explained that he is happy with the line-up for Glastonbury 2009, which the band will play tonight, and said he is looking forward to finding smaller acts off the main stages.
