According to sources, Al Jarreau has passed.

It is on wikipedia.

[This is false folks Thread title changed to (Not true) - luv4u]

R.I.P. Mr. Jarreau

Mere internet rumor as yet. It's been taken off Wikipedia.

Lies!

He ain't dead. Twitter at it again?

As a rule, I check multiple news sources before posting death announcement threads. It saves me the embarrassment of apologizing for a lack of fact checking.

“Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.”

As the result of a Wikipedia prank, we’ve been getting a lot of inquiries, and are happy to report that Al is very healthy and very busy singing, getting ready for his upcoming shows!

Ugh Wikipedia. I edited his entry before he posted that.

Death is nothing to be played with. Whoever edited it needs help.

Yall about to make me upset.

If it isn't true, get rid of this thread.

I just checked Google news for any updates, and there's no mention of his death or any ill health as of the last 24 hours. So unless you have an independent news source confirming this, this diary should be locked and deleted.
