The singer told the the supposed hitman that he wanted his wife dead, and gave him her name, Meggan Lambesis, her address, a photo of her, and $1,000 in cash.
Lambesis is currently out on $3 million bail, but faces nine years in prison as part of a plea deal for soliciting murder when he is sentenced in 2nd May.
