Van Morrison has denied he had a son this week. The music legend says that the statement posted on his very own website and the press release published through legitimate sources was a hoax.
Earlier this week, a statement at the Morrison website announced the birth of George Ivan Morrison III with Morrison’s supposed manager Gigi Lee.Morrison says the announcement was due to a hacker on his website and says it is the second time the site has been hacked in three months. He also says he has never heard of Gigi Lee.
In a real statement today, Morrison says, "Once these claims were brought to our attention, they were taken down from the site but not before news organisations repeated these falsehoods. The comments which appeared on my website did not come from me. For the avoidance of all doubt and in the interests of clarity, I am very happily married to Michelle Morrison with whom I have two wonderful children."
It is unknown who was responsible for the hoax.
