Ely Buendia Dead? His Death Rumors are True or Hoax?

One of the rock music icons, Ely Buendia of Eraserheads has a circulating issue that he is dead. However, Ely Buendia through his twitter account officially ended this issue and said that this is not true and just purely hoax. As quoted,

"Next time na may magkalat pa na patay na 'ko di na talaga 'ko maniniwala."


According to reports, the spreading death rumors of Ely Buendia started in a wrong grammatical message posted in social networking sites.
