spencer.b Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Great news , and I've been listening to Gary all day so some good came of the cruel hoax! Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I'm less certain - the source for the claims that it's a hoax appears to be a particularly dodgy looking website where much of the content looks bot-generated. It carries word for word identical "death hoax" stories on multiple celebrities. Edited September 6, 2020 by Beer of the Bass 1 1 Quote

Dom in Dorset Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 If anyone needs a band name "Peacock Death Hoax" is free. 2 Quote
Drax Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Loads of obits still out there! Seems this faked tweet convinced a lot of sites, the image shared without checking his actual feed. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Though DeJohnette apparently did post that and then deleted it once the hoax rumours started circulating, which is why it's not there now. 1 Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Peacock's family have now confirmed his passing to NPR, so that seems to provide some certainty. RIP Gary... https://www.npr.org/2020/09/07/910054995/gary-peacock-a-jazz-bassist-always-ahead-of-his-time-dies-at-85?fbclid=IwAR0iLTeNEif5ouHru8fsX5uHUVYV5VnDEDMSqRpoKOny9zL6-JhCZ-gqpLQ&t=1599501388367 Quote
