Britney Spears Twitter Death Messsage Is A Hoax

Britney Spears had her Twitter account taken over last night (June 28) by a hacker.

The online intruder then posted a hoax message to fans, telling them their idol had died. The fake Tweet said: "Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come."

That message was swiftly removed and Spears' team posted a new Tweet explaining all: "Britney's Twitter was just hacked. The last message is obviously not true."

"She is fine and dandy spending a quiet day at home relaxing."
