Aretha Franklin Dead: The Twitter Rumor That’s Plaguing The Internet
This morning I woke up to several emails asking me if Aretha Franklin died. I am happy to report that Aretha Franklin is not DEAD! Apparently, a few people planted the news on Twitter late last night and it went viral.
Aretha’s rep even had to step in and give an official statement letting the public know that she isn’t dead.
“Aretha is fine.”It’s short and sweet and to the point. There’s really no need to elaborate, right?! Besides, Aretha Franklin was doing fine post-surgery. Her battle with pancreatic cancer rages on.
This isn’t the first celebrity death hoax we’ve had to deal with this month. Charlie Sheen “died” for a few hours according to the Internet a few days ago too! Denise Richards is the one that put that rumor to rest.
