Dionne Warwick has laughed off bizarre rumours of her death like a true queen, and we’re absolutely not worthy.

The That’s What Friends Are For singer, 80, proved she’s still ‘alive and kicking’ after a YouTube video appeared to claim that she had died.

Things kicked off when a Twitter user, known as @james_mcavoys, shared a screenshot of a clip from the platform, which read: ‘The life and sad ending of Dionne Warwick.

‘According to YouTube @dionnewarwick is dead,’ the fan in question tweeted, tagging the music icon in their post.

Quoting the tweet, Dionne very quickly put a stop to the gossip, simply penning: ‘Oh no!’

To halt any further rumours in their tracks, she went one step further and offered ‘proof of life’ in the form of a video, before bidding us all ‘goodnight from a very alive Dionne Warwick’.

‘I just want you to know I am alive and kicking,’ she began the clip, before bursting into laughter.

‘Now this is the second time y’all done made me dead which I think is not very nice.

‘As you can see, I am totally alive, but thank you for caring enough to have sorrow for me.

‘Anyway, worry not, Dionne Warwick is definitely alive. And I love all of y’all. Believe me. Bye.’

‘“Now this is the second time y’all done made me dead.” Glad you’re doing well and still have that lovely sense of humour,’ a follower penned.

‘Thank you Ms. Warwick for replying to the world – rumours travel like wild fires the old school way- Twitter is more like “warp speed ahead”,’ another agreed.

‘Your eyes twinkle, your smile is radiant and your cheekbones are sculptured…NATURALLY I might add,’ a Twitter user said.

‘Can’t get no more ALIVE than that! Love you, Ms. Dionne. A fan since “Any One Who Had A Heart” #dionnewarwick is alive.’

‘You’re alive and positively glowing,’ another agreed. ‘Have a great night, gorgeous xoxo.’
