Before that I remember hearing a rumor that Rod Stewart had had a hot hair curler shoved up his butt by his wife bc she had caught him having a homosexual affair. Years later I heard the exact same rumor about a local used car dealer and knew that it probably wasn’t true, but it was interesting that the same rumor had cropped up about different people (heard these in different states as well, so it wasn’t just the same people repeating it).

In the 80’s, I always heard it was Gene Simmons.

I heard it about David Bowie back then.

Used to go to festivals in the late 90s/early 2000s and there was ALWAYS a rumor that one of the Chuckle Brothers had died. Or Cliff Richard.

Or Cliff Richard.

Simultaneously the most likely person, and the least likely person to have died at basically any time

The same way that every kid in the 80s knew where the hidden 1-up in level 1-1 of Mario Bros was.

And everyone knew how to draw the "smile" graffiti style "S".

And everyone knew some version of the promotion where you supposedly got free something if you got a Tootsie Pop wrapper with the Indian and the star on it.

I heard the same thing for Gabriele D'Annunzio.
