The world is full of people who are convinced that famous dead musicians are still alive. Though not as common as the "Elvis lives" folks, there are plenty of people who are quick to claim people are dead when in actuality they are still very much alive. The most recent artist to fall victim to a widespread fake death was famed DJ Skrillex, who supposedly died in a plane crash in late 2011. Thanks to an amateur reporter, "news" even made it to CNN.com's front page, which featured the headline "Electro and Dubstep artist Sonny Moore also known as Skrillex dies in a plane crash." Skrillex later tweeted "Third death rumor about me this year...wtf?"
