Tina Turner is alive and well ... twitter hoax

Tina Turner death hoax panics Twitter; singer is alive and well

Tina Turner isn’t dead, but for a minute people using Twitter on Saturday thought the worst as the latest Twitter hoax was cruel. the online social site was report Tina Turner was dead. As the world has seen over the past six months, there have been several divas who have died and it was first reported by Twitter. Donna Summer and Whitney Houston’s death were both reported first on the social media platform, so it seems possible that it could have been accurate.

It appears that Tina Turner’s death was greatly exaggerated and like the celebrities who have had death hoaxes in the past, it is a cruel joke. Bill Cosby, Justin Bieber and even Jon Bon Jovi have all been declared dead on Twitter until the star shows up online and confirms they haven’t met the Maker quite yet.

While Tine Turner’s representatives have confirmed on Saturday that the singer is alive, well and kicking, the fans are still searching for information as the hoax is still spreading. Started on the on a site called Necropedia, it appears the site updated with inaccurate when it posted an anticipated obituary

here she is just a few days ago with Mary J Blige in China (believe me if Tina was dead it would be all over the news)

This was actually one of the reasons that sparked me to delete my Twitter.

Plus Tina makes 72 look silly...

They really need to stop this. This is all I thought Whitney's death was when it happened.

I thought Whitney's death was fake when I saw it on yahoo as reported by the Associated Press, cause they get shit wrong sometimes, but then, you know the rest..
