Musician Simon Le Bon says he has a terrible fear of dying alone.
The 56-year-old lead singer of Duran Duran says he has let go of many of his fears as he has gotten older but death still scares him, reported Female First.
"I have grown out of arachnophobia and a castration complex but I still have nightmares about dying alone."
He came close to death in 1985 when he capsized his yacht.
"I was very happy to be alive when I surfaced after my yacht, Drum, capsized in the Fastnet Race in 1985. I was in an air pocked for 40 minutes and had to take off my long johns to be able to surface," Le Bon said.
