Robin Schulz death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the dj’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Robin Schulz’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the German dj’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (April 18, 2024), our beloved dj Robin Schulz passed away. Robin Schulz was born on April 28, 1987 in Osnabrück. 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 36-year-old dj 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 German network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a dj of Robin Schulz's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (55%) of respondents think those Robin Schulz death rumors are not funny anymore.

On Friday (April 19) the dj's reps officially confirmed that Robin Schulz is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.
Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved dj. Others say this shows his extreme popularity across the globe.
