Jon Bon Jovi Isn't Dead, Just Victim of Death Hoax

Don't worry -- Jon Bon Jovi is not dead, according to The Star-Ledger of the singer-songwriter's home state of New Jersey.

Bon Jovi, who has a vacation home in East Hampton and is an owner of the bar and restaurant, was trending on Twitter on Tuesday when a rumor went viral that the leader of the band that has his name was dead.

"A poorly constructed, fake press release got retweeted a whole bunch of times and eventually, talk progressed from his appearance in an Advil commercial to his supposed demise," The Star-Ledger reported.

While there was no official statement, his rep reportedly told Gossip Cop that Bon Jovi, 49, would be performing Tuesday night at a benefit in New Jersey.  

Bon Jovi owns the favorite East End Tex-Mex restaurant with Ron Perlman and Renee Zellweger.
