Joe Perry death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the guitarist’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Joe Perry’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American guitarist’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (July 09, 2016), our beloved guitarist Joe Perry passed away. Joe Perry was born on September 10, 1950 in Lawrence. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 65-year-old guitarist was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a guitarist of Joe Perry’s stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (75%) of respondents think those Joe Perry death rumors are not funny anymore.
