Sir Dave Dobbyn's manager has blasted a "despicable" social media hoax claiming the Kiwi singing legend has died.
Despite rumours on social media alarming fans saying Dobbyn had died, the singer is otherwise fine.
He is the latest celebrity to be targeted in a fake news scam on social media. The scam wrongly states that the legendary musician has died.
In a post on his Facebook page, his manager clarified the rumour is false. Lorraine Barry, Dobbyn's manager, called the rumour "despicable" and added that it initially upset people who love him.
