Billy Crawford slams viral death hoax after social media declares him ‘dead’ amid concert tour

Filipino celebrity Billy Crawford became the latest victim of a death hoax, with misleading posts circulating on social media platforms falsely claiming his demise. Despite the alarming rumors, Crawford is alive and healthy and recently posted videos documenting his recent European concert tour.

Earlier this month, video posts on Facebook and TikTok began claiming Crawford had died due to an unspecified illness linked to alleged “weight loss” from lifestyle changes. The claims, however, were entirely fabricated, as evidenced by Crawford’s own social media activity. On November 2, he shared behind-the-scenes footage from his recent performance in France, where he participated in the “I Gotta Feeling – La Tournee” concert series.

Wife Coleen Garcia Refutes Rumors with Family Video

While rumors swirled, Crawford’s wife, actress Coleen Garcia, further dispelled the hoax by sharing a family Halloween video. In the clip, Crawford dressed as the character Anger from the animated film “Inside Out 2,” while Garcia portrayed Disgust, and their son Amari was Joy. This joyful family moment showed Crawford in good spirits, directly contradicting the viral falsehoods about his death.

The rumors did not gain traction with major media outlets, and Viva Artists Agency, Crawford’s management, publicly debunked the claims on their Facebook page. Fans and followers criticized the hoax, pointing out the irresponsible spread of misinformation and the distress it caused.

Billy Crawford’s Active Career Amid Rumors

Crawford currently coaches on the popular Philippine show “The Voice Kids” alongside SB19 members Stell and Pablo and singer Julie Anne San Jose. His ongoing appearances and active career are a testament to his well-being and continued engagement with his fans.

Death hoaxes have plagued many celebrities, but Crawford’s direct refutation through social media reassured fans of his health and ongoing projects. As misinformation increases, fans support Crawford’s resilience against these baseless rumors.

Crawford’s steady social media presence and active professional engagements serve as powerful rebuttals to online hoaxes, highlighting his continued connection with audiences and dedication to his career.

Still alive: Billy Crawford falls victim to death hoax

MANILA, Philippines — Host-dancer Billy Crawford is the latest Filipino celebrity to be the subject of a death hoax despite being alive and healthy.

At the beginning of November, numerous video posts on Facebook and TikTok began circulating that Billy had passed away.

His alleged cause of death was a “supposed illness” as a result of “weight loss” obtained through “lifestyle changes.”

This was far from the truth as Billy uploaded a video last November 2 containing behind-the-scenes footage of the “I Gotta Feeling – La Tournee” concert in France last month that he took part in.

Around the same time, Billy’s wife Coleen Garcia shared a video about the family’s Halloween costumes where they dressed up as the characters from “Inside Out 2” — Billy was Anger, Coleen was Disgust, and their son Amari was Joy.

No major media outlets picked up any news that Billy supposedly passed away, and Viva Artists Agency even shared on its Facebook page an article debunking the rumor.

Billy is currently a coach on the sixth season of “The Voice Kids (Philippines)” with SB19 members Stell and Pablo as well as Julie Anne San Jose.
