The US singer Jon Bon Jovi went on Facebook Tuesday to dispel rumors swirling on the Internet that he had died. “Rest assured that Jon is alive and well! This photo was just taken,” the 49-year-old said in a status update, commenting on a picture of himself wearing a black T-shirt and standing in front of a Christmas tree. Rumors of the musician's death spread on Twitter Monday, with a false statement claiming that he had been pronounced dead after being found in a coma at a hotel in New Jersey. Bon Jovi has led the American band of the same name since its formation in 1983. The band has sold an estimated 100 million records in the past 28 years, according to industry estimates. __
