Celine Dion has admitted that false reports on the internet claiming that she had died made her ‘a little mad’.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Dion said: "Many years ago I [apparently] killed myself in my own garage. Don't ask me why I don't want to be a part of the showbiz industry!"
The Canadian singer said that false death rumours make her "a little mad", because of the impact they have on her family.
"Sometimes it's freaky because I have to call my family about it. I was celebrating the birthday of my twins in Montreal and I was getting these phone calls saying there was stuff on Facebook that I was dead.
"The thing that worries me is my mum. It makes me a little mad - she's 86-years-old and if I'm not on the phone telling her I'm OK four seconds after it's on the news… it doesn't matter what they say, it's the impact it has on your family."
The 45-year-old added that such reports make her "stay away from that side of things even more", before adding: "But I'm glad I'm not dead!"
