A Kate Bush fan reportedly broke into her home to propose to her over the Christmas period.
Frank Tufaro, 32, is said to have flown from America with a £3,000 diamond and sapphire ring from Tiffany's.
He smashed a window at the singer's mansion but she wasn't home at the time. Tufaro fled over her neighbours' fences, according to The Sun.
Locals in Devon alerted the police, who arrested Tufaro as he was walking down a country lane with a suitcase.
Tufaro, who paid £240 for a taxi to her home on Boxing Day, was later deported by the UK Border Agency on January 6.
"I was inside for about eight minutes before I realised I had to leave," the American said, adding that he has been a fan of Bush since he was a teenager.
Bush was recently nominated for the 'British Female Solo Artist' award at this year's Brits.
