Bobby Brown fears Osama

Yahoo! Music, Jul 17, 2007 3:00 pm PDT
Bobby Brown has spoken of his fear that he maybe killed by al-Qaeda on his upcoming tour of Australia.

The faded R&B star is due to play the first in a series of shows Down Under on Thursday, with a gig in Melbourne.

However, he admits to being concerned that Osama bin Laden wants him dead, following claims the infamous terrorist is obsessed with Brown's former wife Whitney Houston.

Sudanese writer Kola Boof recently claimed that he was amongst the main targets on bin Laden's hit-list, prompting Brown to ramp up security for the new dates.

"Come on, if anybody is threatened by al-Qaeda they'd take it seriously," Brown told an Australian radio show.

"I figure if bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won't happen. But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, he can do what he wants.

"I have to leave it in the hands of my higher power," insisted Bobby, who is now divorced from Houston.
