#CelineDion Dead? Death Hoax Spreads as Singer Gives Interview: Rumors aboutCeline Dion dying have been spreading for the past several weeks, despite the Canadian singer giving interviews to the media about her new album as well as giving live performances this week.

Celine Dion 1968 – 2013?” as well as “Her heart will go on? Celine Dion died in a car accident,” according to ContactMusic. “Hollywood Breaking News – R.I.P Celine Dion At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (October 20, 2013), Celine Dion died in a plane crash. The culprit for the story is Global Associated, aka Mediafetcher. ‘Celine Dion presumed dead in private plane crash’, Global claims that Celine died today at ‘Denver Peak-Regional Airport,” reads part of the false CNN piece. About later reported that the fake postings are rogue apps that can gain access to a Facebook user’s profile information and post to friends.

Over the weekend, Dion told USA Today that she is doing a new album because “I have nothing to lose. I’m just singing songs because I love them.”
