Default BREAKING: Sometimes the internet goes crazy over people who died years ago

And by internet I mean mostly people on Facebook. Probably Twitter too.

Maya Angelou for example.

Or in this case, people who haven't actually died. Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!

French broadcaster apologises after wrongly killing off Queen and Pelé | World news | The Guardian

Quote:
Reports of the deaths of about 100 unfortunate celebrities have been greatly exaggerated by a French public radio station, which mistakenly published the obituaries of, among others, a very-much-alive Queen, Brigitte Bardot and Pelé.
:freakout:

Quote:
Other non-French octa- and nonagenarians declared prematurely dead were Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; former US president Jimmy Carter; Cuban leader Raúl Castro; Yoko Ono; former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and the actors Clint Eastwood and Sophia Loren.

Among French nationals, the victims included Bernadette Chirac, wife of the late president Jacques; the former Socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin, the actors Jean-Louis Trintignant, Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo, the director Roman Polanski and the fashion designer Pierre Cardin.
