Avi Kaplan death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Avi Kaplan’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American singer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (February 16, 2025), our beloved singer Avi Kaplan passed away. Avi Kaplan was born on April 17, 1989 in Visalia. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 35-year-old singer was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Avi Kaplan's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 87% still think false Avi Kaplan death rumors are funny.
