I believe that "Stan" by Eminem feat Dido is based on a true story. Stan was Eminem's biggest fan who valued Eminem over his pregnant girlfriend who he abused. Stan made many attempts in trying to contact Eminem through letters, but Eminem was so busy it took him a while to respond. Stan began to believe that Eminem didn't care about his fans and purposefully did not respond. He began to grow extremely angry (yes, he was insane) and decided to commit suicide by driving off of a bridge with his girlfriend tied up in the trunk. Eminem finally responded but it was too late. Eminem realized that the Stanley he saw in the newspaper was him.

The song borrows the chorus from "Thank You' by Dido.
Stan was a fan of eminem fan who killed himself because eminem wouldn't talk to him or write him
The song you are reffering to is "Stan" featuring Dido. The song is in the album "The Marshall Mathers LP".
I believe Stan is actually a reflection of Eminem's imagination, as I read before he suffered alcohol problems and depression quite similar to Stan himself in the music video. Stan is not a real fan I've heard, he was just a creation but similar things have happened. I think mainly Eminem is almost writing to himself about some of his own problems minus the abuse of his wife and obsessions.

Because in the song, Stan is so brainwashed by Eminem and his lyrics, he just goes crazy.
No, Stan is a fictional character and he does not exist, howvever you can find eminem's song sheet where he first wrote Stan
