Bobby McFerrin is alive!
Let’s shut down this rumor mill once and for all because I’m still hearing that this poor man is dead. He’s NOT! He lives! AND he still makes beautiful music!
It’s funny that there’s even a rumor about this man who wrote such a happy song like “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. If you haven’t heard the rumor, it is that the singer of “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (Bobby McFerrin) committed suicide. It was just such an ironic rumor that it caught on like wildfire.
But he’s alive, as noted in the recent video posted in this blog. He’s a solo artist and he’s a conductor.
P.S. The Video is of a duet of Bobby and Voicestra member Judi Donaghy and they sing their version of “I Can See Clearly Now”, if you need ANYTHING to make you happy, listen to this! It’s a Gorgeous song!!!
P.P.S. Some other rumors that aren’t true.
* The Blues Clues host, Steve Burns, didn’t die of an overdose nor was he ever run over by a car nor was he ever arrested for heroin possession & he was never a porn star.
*Mr. Rogers was never convicted of being a child molester nor did he serve as a sniper or a Navy Seal during the Vietnam War, he never served in the military…AND he didn’t have any tattoos, some people thought he wore long sleeve shirts to conceal them.
