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.
