Just found out this is false info. Horace has not passed.

...if true ...that's shocking ...but it won't be the first time someone's early demise has been reported incorrectly...!

[splanky]

It's a hoax. I'm listening to my jazz station WBGO as I do every morning and I'm pretty sure
they would have reported it if it'd been true. Whoever set up this bullsh*t needs their
ass whupped! Brutally! And I'm in a good mood.....

[Soul Sister]

Exactly splanky.
I read it not only on here & Facebook but the "L.A. Times and Jazzwise Magazine" published it!! WTF!

"Jazzwise apologises for passing on widespread reports on jazz websites, social media and jazz radio and initial checks earlier today, that Horace Silver had died. Jazzwise apologises unreservedly to Horace Silver, his family, friends and fans and for any distress this may have caused."
