It’s quite remarkable how bad news travels so fast, but even more alarming how bad news with no actual truth travels even faster.

This morning, a whole host of sites reported that our beloved trance God Tiesto had tragically died in a car crash in California. Some reports even went as far to say how the memorial services would be a closed casket due to his horrific head injuries!

Before getting too upset though, Tiesto himself piped up on Twitter to say calm down people, “I’m very much alive”!

So where do these rumours start – bitter rival DJs? Lonely chat rooms surfers? Or could it be the work of a twisted, but albeit effective publicity stunt? After all, Tiesto IS playing at Victoria Park, London in just a few weeks… 30th July if you want the exact date.

Whoever the sicko behind it – the grim reaper should not be messed with! It’s just another reminder not to believe everything you read and to do some research before sharing information scraped-up from the murky corners of the web.

Long live Tiesto!
