The incident marks the second time Grohl has been pronounced dead by internet pranksters.

Grohl's details on online encyclopedia Wikipedia were altered to read "David Eric Grohl (January 14 1969 - February 5 2007)".

The rocker found out about his supposed demise when worried friends began calling offer his wife JORDYN their sympathy.

He says, "I got a phone message from a friend saying 'Er, I guess... Jordyn... this is maybe... for you. I'm so sorry to hear what happened.'

"I heard this message and went, 'What the f**k?' They were leaving a message on my cell phone saying 'I'm sorry Dave died.'

"That was weird, but I guess I've finally graduated to that status of being an internet rumour. It weirded me out a bit, but it's stupid. I'm like a cockroach, don't worry, I'll be around for a long time."

Grohl was previously announced as dead in May 2006. Other rock stars to have had their deaths prematurely announced include SIR PAUL McCARTNEY, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, and PAUL WELLER.
