Okay, let’s talk about this whole “mike perry death” thing I stumbled upon.
So, I was just browsing around online the other day, you know, killing some time. Maybe checking out some music forums or just scrolling through feeds. Then I saw this phrase pop up a couple of times: mike perry death. Caught my eye, because I know his music, like that “The Ocean” track everyone played a while back. It kinda stopped me for a second.
My first thought was, wait, what? Is this real? You know how the internet is, stuff spreads like wildfire, true or not. Reminds me of back when we only had dial-up, someone would start a rumor in a chatroom and suddenly everyone believed it. Crazy times.
My Digging Process
Anyway, it got me curious, and honestly, a bit concerned. So, I decided to actually look into it properly. Didn’t just glance at headlines. I opened up a few tabs. First, I did the basic search engine thing. Typed in “mike perry death,” “what happened to mike perry,” stuff like that.
Saw a few sketchy-looking results right away. You know the type, clickbaity titles on websites you’ve never heard of. I tend to ignore those straight off the bat. Learned that lesson the hard way years ago.
Next, I specifically went looking for actual news sources. Big names, music publications, anything that looked remotely official. Scanned through their latest news sections. Nothing. Zip. Nada. If something major like that had happened to a fairly well-known artist, you’d expect some reputable outlet to report it, right?
Then, I thought, okay, maybe social media? Checked out what seemed like his official channels, looked for statements from his label or team. Again, nothing indicating anything bad had happened. Mostly just music promotion or regular posts. Looked pretty normal.
I also poked around a few fan forums and discussion threads. Found some people asking the same question, “Is Mike Perry dead?” But mostly, the answers were just other people saying they couldn’t find any proof either, or calling it out as a hoax.
What I Found (or Didn’t)
So, after spending a bit of time actually digging around, trying different searches, checking various places, here’s what I concluded from my little investigation:
- There were zero reports from any credible news organizations.
- His official channels showed no indication of such an event. Business as usual, it seemed.
- Most mentions I found were just random posts or sketchy sites recycling the rumor, or people asking if it was true.
Based on my own looking around, putting in the effort to check different places instead of just reacting to a headline, it really seems like this whole “mike perry death” thing is just another one of those internet rumors. Annoying how this stuff starts and spreads. Wasted a bit of my afternoon chasing it down, but hey, at least I got to the bottom of it for my own peace of mind. Looks like he’s fine, which is good news.
