Everybody loves rumours about celebrity deaths - even when they are pure fabrication and spun from the mind of bored Twitter users.
R'n'B star Usher this week became the latest victim of a death hoax after reports circulated he was killed in a car crash. He responded by posting topless shots of himself online, proving not only that he works out a lot, but that he was definitely still alive.
Usher isn't alone in the world of online death hoaxes, of course. Britney Spears, Adele and Eminem have all been reportedly killed off by online jokers - and most of them in car crashes.
Check Out some of the biggest stars who have all been reported dead - but fortunately, were not.
