Rick Astley, an 80â€™s pop star, fell victim to an internet death hoax this week.

His â€˜deathâ€™ was reported in a fake Associated Press release, which claimed the singer was found dead in a Berlin hotel room today.

The singerâ€™s website was quick to put the rumours to rest, saying: "Contrary to reports in the press today, Rick is alive and well and looking forward to his concert in Tivoli Gardens in Denmark later this week".
