Although Cher did confirm that she's ill, there has been no report to suggest that Cher has died. She may be the victim of yet another online death hoax, but it's also possible that fans have gotten several recent stories about Cher a bit mixed up. While Cher does have the flu, news recently broke that her mother, actress Georgia Holt, died at the age of 96.

Cher confirmed the news of her mother's death on her own Twitter, and has been writing about her mom regularly in recent days. When Georgia's death was reported, CNN noted that she had been suffering from health problems in recent months, including a stint in the hospital where she was treated for pneumonia.
