First Ronnie James Dio is dead, then he's not dead, then he died

[Fritzo]

Nothing travels faster on the Internet than the speed of rumor:

1. Reported the rock singer died
2. Find out from his spouse that he's not dead yet
3. Print a retraction.
4 He died after posting the retraction.

That was messed up. I saw the news that he died, then saw the "he's ok" message a while later. I was relieved, and went to bed happy. Then I woke up to the news that he died.

Clearly, then, he was killed by the retraction.

Wait.... I'm pretty sure I saw this on an episode of Lost.

 

[Squisher]

I heard he's back alive again.

Pretty much every news site reported that. And its not the first time it was reported he was dead when he wasnt.

I still can't believe he was 67 even though I bought Heaven and Hell eons ago.
