Jerry Lee Lewis recently became the latest celebrity to fall victim to an online death hoax. The rumors began on October 26, which raised concern among fans. However, it has been confirmed that the actor is alive and safe.

The rumors surrounding his death are false, and TMZ later revised their story, apologizing for whatever happened.
Jerry Lee Lewis could not attend the induction ceremony for the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 16. He was suffering from flu at the time and his wife accepted the honor, stating that her husband was alive and well.
A few days ago, a picture was posted on Jerry Lee Lewis’ Instagram account which featured Kris Kristofferson visiting Lewis at his residence to present him with the medallion. Lewis also posted a note saying that he was sad and disappointed at not being able to attend the event.
