Katie Melua: I love death and get off on fear

Singer reveals her dark side

Katie Melua's new album The Katie Melua Collection is out now

Katie Melua has no fear of dying.

The singer, 24, thinks it's good to prepare for the inevitable.

‘Sometimes I think, “Oh what if I die?” And that would be terrible because of all the things I haven’t done,’ she says.

‘Everyone could die. I love death because you know it’s going to happen, you just don’t know when or how.

'There’s a comfort in that. I find it weird that people are so afraid of ageing and death, and you just can’t be. It’s like your best friend: It will wrap its arms around you eventually and embrace you, and that’s it. You’re gone.’

Katie also admits she loves being scared.

'I really get off on fear,’ she tells the Evening Standard Magazine. 'It’s definitely one of my favourite emotions.'
