It is common for celebrities to often hear of their own death. This time, the internet has a floating rumor about Alan being dead. All of this started when a website, FNEWS2, released a report with the title:

“With a heavy heart as we report the sad news of 64-year-old Singer Alan Jackson.”

However, Jackson is not dead, as there are no authentic reports that claim the same. The singer was active on social media until November 16, 2022, which happens to be just a day before the rumors went viral.

Moreover, the claims that the actor is not well were debunked after looking at his Twitter page, as the singer is quite active on social media and often posts photos and videos of himself. The picture below was posted on Tuesday, November 15.

Alan also posted a picture of himself from the Country Music Awards on November 11, 2022, where he looked all hale and hearty.

The singer has also shared many videos from the Awards function, where he gave a moving performance.
