Cher Scare

Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher died on Monday April 8, 2013 after suffering from a stroke. But it was Cher fans who took to Twitter to mourn what they thought was the loss of the music icon.

A website dedicated to the status of Thatcher's death called "Is Thatcher Dead Yet?" began spreading the hashtag #nowthatcherisdead on Twitter, soon after news broke of the former prime minister's death. Cher fans misinterpreted the hashtag and read it as "Now that Cher is dead" instead of "Now Thatcher Is Dead." MORE HERE & HERE
