Ella Henderson death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Ella Henderson’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the English singer’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (December 21, 2024), our beloved singer Ella Henderson passed away. Ella Henderson was born on January 12, 1996 in Tetney. She 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 28-year-old singer and songwriter 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 English network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Ella Henderson's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 61% still think false Ella Henderson death rumors are funny.
