Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland was shocked when rumors began circulating that she was dead.

The 26-year-old returned from a trip to Asia earlier this year to hear messages on her phone from her concerned and hysterical family, who believed she had passed away.

Rowland says,

"My family hadn't spoken to me for 20 hours, so they were very worried. When I got off the plane, they'd left messages on my phone crying and asking me where I was and what was going on.

"It was scary for them. I have no idea how the rumor started but I made sure I put an end to it immediately."

Oh shit! If rumors are swirling that you're dead when you're actually alive - ouch! Now that's a has been.

I didn't even hear about the 'Kelly is dead' rumors, but aren't we all glad Kelly's still around?
