Hammer not dead, OK?

I've always held a secret ambition to be falsely reported dead in the media so I can roll out the old Mark Twain quote. Well, rumours of MC Hammer's death were definitely exaggerated. There had been rumours the 80s rap star had died, but it turns out that it was another Stanley Burrell who died recently (that being Hammer's real name). A spokesman for Hammer told reporters yesterday that the 'U Can't Touch This' man is still very much alive and well.
