Beyonce death hoax: Queen Bey’s bleeding sparks cruel reports

A report about Beyoncé Knowles’ alleged death went viral on social media after she bled mid-performance during a TIDAL concert in New York early this month.

A Facebook page titled “R.I.P. Beyoncé” had earned over 1 million likes after claiming that the wife of rapper Jay Z bled to death following her Tidal X:1015 performance at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center.

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (October 22, 2016), our beloved singer Beyoncé passed away. Beyoncé was born on September 4, 1981 in Houston. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

However, the disputed Facebook page has since been taken down after being dismissed as a hoax.

“She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” Beyoncé representatives clarified Sunday.

To recall, the 35-year-old “Lemonade” singer started bleeding mid-concert on Oct. 15 after ripping her earlobe out with her knee-length braided hair. At one point during the concert, Beyoncé was seen wiping her ear of blood, but the singer maintained composure and continued with her performance.
