This IS an April Fools joke. A really sick and twisted one, but a joke nonetheless. The person who posted it is known, at least at LK, for posting hoaxes just like this on more than one occasion.

I wonder what the band think of this? If it's been posted on DDM.com they've seen it, or their representatives have...

HA! The moderators at LK just locked this "article"'s thread over there! About time!
I wonder though, if any of the DD guys or even Andy get wind of this, can they sue the original poster?

Sick. Reminds me of the hoax about Kirk Hammett's death floating around today. April Fools jokes are one thing. "Joking" about a death/illness etc is another.

The *ahem* "retraction", as posted on LK, from agentastronaut:

I'm sure the band knew it wasn't true, Tracey or one of Andy's kids would have called them when it happened. Andy's still friends with Simon at least, Tracey would have called him, I'm sure.
I don't think they could sue, I don't know what grounds they could use. But it is pretty tasteless and insensitive, without question!
ETA: Thanks for posting the retraction, Droid! Glad to see he owned up to it. And Andy *might* hear about it, if Simon saw it he might mention it next time they talk...

That wasn't an apology. That was, "Sorry if you have no sense of humor, I really don't care if it upset anybody but the moderators contacted me and told me I had to apologize or they'd ban me. I still think it's funny and I'm very pleased with myself that I got some of you going." Blech!
And trying to twist it around that Andy should be HAPPY he did this because it got the guitarist some 'publicity'? Yeah, dude, Andy was just sitting in Ibiza not doing anything, desperately hoping some sick jerk would make up a rumor about him being deathly ill to get him some publicity...
What arrogance! This a$$hat isn't on this board anywhere, is he/she? I sure hope not...
