Guns 'N Roses frontman Axl Rose would like you to know, he's alive and well and doing just fine, thank you very much.
A bogus report, designed to look like the real MSNBC website, made the Internet rounds with the headline, "Sources: Guns N' Roses Frontman Axl Rose Found Dead in West Hollywood Home at Age 52."
The story read, "Unconfirmed reports say Rose was found dead Tuesday late afternoon in his West Hollywood home after police were called around 3:30 pm for a welfare check."
Apparently, Axl had a good laugh over this latest death hoax, Tweeting, "if I'm dead do I still have to pay taxes?"
If I'm dead do I still have to pay taxes?

Later, Axl took to Facebook and posted a picture of his very alive self and saying, "Ha! They say I'm dead – again' Wait, what? WTF? It's a hoax. Guys. Get a life at ParadiseCity.com."
