Britney Spears Dead? Singer Did Not Die of Drug Overdose

Britney Spears is dead. At least that's what social media is saying. However the "Work B*tch" singer didn't die. She's just the victim of an Internet death hoax. Britney Spears is just fine.

Rumors started making waves across social media sites like Facebook and Twitter saying that Spears died. People were seeing messages that said the pop star was found dead in an apparent drug overdose.

It is not clear where or how the rumor started, but it's nothing more than a rumor. Spears is alive and well and the rumor is false. No credible news sources have confirmed the singer's death. With a star so big, her death would be announced across the world if it were true. There were reports in 2012 of Spears' former manager Sam Lufti claiming that the singer had overdosed on amphetamines during her breakdown. This was never confirmed.

Despite the rumor being false, fans took to Twitter to mourn and question the death. Some examples of tweets include:

"Apparently Britney Spears was just found dead? Overdosed apparently? Waaaaaaaaaat?"

"Britney Spears had died? Sorry what when."

"If Britney Spears died of an overdose, so would I."

"so apparently Britney spears has died?rip x"

"Why are people saying Britney Spears is dead?"

"Britney Spears is dead! Whaaaaaaat"

Britney Spears is not dead. She went through a public meltdown a few years ago but the mother of two seems to have gotten her act together since. She recently released the video for her hew song "Work B*tch." She also announced that she will be taking on a two year residency in Las Vegas with shows beginning in December. She is currently in London, as she tweeted, "Lots of fun in London doing press today!! Always love when I get to visit the UK! xo."
