Sony Urban Music has been forced to denounce Internet reports that singer Kelly Rowland had come to an untimely demise.
“A rumor circulating last weekend that Kelly was in involved in a tragic accident in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is simply not true,” a spokesperson for the label said in a statement released to The BV Newswire.
“Kelly’s scheduled concert in Jakarta was canceled following a bombing in the capital city. Kelly was in Singapore at the time and flew from there to Los Angeles.”
“Kelly — [who is] is safe and sound and currently in Los Angeles— extends her warm thank you to her fans for their concern but wants everyone to know she is well and doing fine,” the statement concluded.
Over the years, there have been reports that famous (or infamous) black people have passed away — Jaleel White, Damien Hall, Khia, Whitney Houston, Darryl M. Bell, and others.
