Kris Kristofferson Obituary – Death: What Happened to Lengendary Musician, Songwriter and Actor, Kris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson Obituary: News of actor Kris Kristofferson’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However, the November 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for hit songs like Why Me or Me and Bobby McGee is alive and well.
Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (November 29, 2023), our beloved actor Kris Kristofferson passed away. Kris Kristofferson was born on June 22, 1936, in Brownsville. 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 87-year-old actor and singer was dead. And as usual, the Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
While 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 an actor of Kris Kristofferson’s stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (75%) of respondents think those Kris Kristofferson death rumors are not funny anymore.
