Rick Astley Since the day Michael Jackson died, the internet has seen a rush of false death reports of celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus, Harrison Ford, Jef Goldblum, Britney Spears and now the 1980’s British pop sensation Rick Astley.
The moment these false reports on Rick Astley’s death came up on the internet, fans from allover scrambled to find out what has actually happened. As time passed by the rumor grew strong and the fans became genuinely worried. Adding more confusion to this situation is the fact that there is even one purported press release by a news agency proclaiming Rick Astley’s death is up on the net. Obviously these reports and as well as this press release are all the creation of prankster hackers.
But now well known media organizations are carrying out reports which clearly mention that all these celebrities including Rick Astley are well and alive and these so called reports which proclaimed their death were indeed false and were only internet hoaxes.
It might be the fact that as the past week has indeed seen actual deaths of quite a few celebrities like Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and recently Bill Mays, these hackers or pranksters might have wanted to take this opportunity to create panic over the net by publishing these hoaxes which carried those false death news of the celebs. Even George Clooney, who is one of the biggest stars of Hollywood and has starred in movies like the Oceans Eleven had been declared dead by these hoax reports. But according to reports Clooney is doing fine and is alive.
So finally lets say that fans of Rick Astley, the famous British pop artiste who gave them hits like “Never Gonna Give You Up” is well and hearty and therefore they can be at peace.
