Celine fan phobia

Celine Dion has revealed the reason she rarely goes out in public – it’s because she is terrified she will catch germs from her fans. The singer, who hasn’t left her Las Vegas hotel while performing her long-running concert series at Caesar’s Palace, confesses, “Because of air-conditioning, meeting a lot of people, shaking hands – there are more chances to get sick”. Meanwhile, the doting mum has a tape recorder in her dressing room while she’s away, so she can hear her a recording of her son, Rene Charles, saying, ‘Hi oom!’ [10 November 2005]
