Bernie Mac Is Alive, Recovering From Pneumonia
August 4th, 2008Rumors of the comedian’s death shock and frighten fans.

Both Bernie Mac’s publicist and his wife are refuting rumors that the popular comedian died this past weekend. Mac was hospitalized and recovering from pneumonia late last week, publicist Danica Smith told The Chicago Sun-Times. By Saturday, fans in Mac’s native Chicago and those browsing Web sites throughout the country were expressing sadness and posting tributes to the “late” Kings of Comedy alum. It appears that a hoax involving calls to various TV newsrooms led to the scare and caused at least one Chicago network affiliate to scroll the news across the screens of its viewers’ sets at home. “It is a very horrible rumor,” Smith says. “It is absolutely untrue.” Mac’s condition was, in fact, improving, Smith adds: “He’s doing great and hopes to get out soon. He’s Bernie – he’s one of the best guys you’ll meet.” Mac’s wife Rhonda McCullough has been with him at the hospital. Read the latest on Bernie Mac at BET Entertainment Spotlight.

I know he will get through this and i wish people would stop spreading false rumours around like that. I think if you arent sure your self you should not say any thing. But i do want to let him and his family know that he has my blessing. And if you truly belive in him he will save you.
My heart just dropped at the news that he had died, and i had to log on to bet news to find out the truth because i was devasated by the possibility!
Get well Bernie so we can laugh!
Just know that GOD loves you and im praying for you and remember that God is in control of your outcome. So be blessed and we ove you out here in Houston,Texas
