Ha Ha Ha..what is going on with all these false rumors of people no longer being amongst the living....here is something I found about yesterday hoax.....
CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS IS NOT DEAD:
That e-mail you received yesterday was a hoax; Williams and his family
are upset.
*A fake e-mail, with the subject line "Christopher Williams:
1967-2005 RIP,"
ended up being forwarded, and forwarded, and forwarded around until the
EUR, Atlanta Journal & Constitution newspaper and othermedia outlets
started receiving calls to verify its accuracy.
It was all a hoax, according to
Cassandra Mills, who executive produced his 1989 album, "CW." Mills
tells EUR's Lee Bailey that she spoke to Christopher's wife by hone and
was told that the singer is fine, he's not sick, and the family is quite
upset over the whole thing.
The bogus e-mail said that Williams "died today in his Atlanta
home after a brief illness. The cause of death is not known."
It then gave a brief bio of his career before stating that he "remained
out of the public spotlight [of late] spending most of his time in and
around his Atlanta home," and that funeral arrangements "have not been
made public."
Lee Bailey also contacted Atlanta Journal & Constitution
entertainment writer Sonia Murray, who said that even the newspaper's
obituary dept.
was getting calls to verify the story.
On the other hand, based on this
ugly incident, if Williams thought his
fan base had dwindled over the years
since his heyday in the early 90s,
he is mistaken.
