Joel Madden has warned his stalker Maksim Myaskovskiy he will shoot him dead if he comes near him. Russian Myaskovskiy is currently in jail awaiting trial on charges of stalking and threatening to kill the Good Charlotte rocker.

Madden isn't concerned by the prospect the 18-year-old could walk free, insisting he is ready, waiting and willing to defend himself.

He says, "I'm not afraid of that kid. I've been threatened by crazier dudes than him. I've been threatened by gangsters. I'm not going to take this threat lightly. But I'm not going to not go out simply because some kid wants me dead. If he comes near me, I'm going to assume that he wants to kill me, and I'm going to take appropriate action. I own a lot of guns. I'm ready."
