In late December, news of Jon Bon Jovi’s death first appeared on a Twitter profile. Jon is rumored to have died while vacationing in his hometown of New Jersey, USA. Rumors spread faster when a website took back a Los Angeles Times article from 2009 about Michael Jackson’s death. However, this page replaces Michael’s name with Jon’s.

Recently, musician Jeffrey Goho in Pennsylvania, USA, confessed that he is the author of this shocking rumor. In an interview with Asbury Park, Goho said he set up a fake account on Twitter and spread false news about Jon. He justified his actions: “I only used freedom of speech to spread rumors because I was so angry when I heard that Jon Bon Jovi opened a restaurant. Simply because the name Bon Jovi is for music, not business.”

To reassure fans, the 49-year-old singer posted a photo of himself next to the Christmas tree. In his hand, he holds a sign that humorously reads: “Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey” with a clear date caption. Jon declared, he is still living happily.

For Christmas, the American rocker went on vacation with his family in St. Barts, Caribbean. He is often shirtless, showing off his prolific body at sea, in front of paparazzi cameras.
