Country singer Berry is very much alive
Friday, May 20, 2016 – John Berry is alive and well despite reports to the primary.
An AOL news story posted a video today reporting the death of John Berry of the Beastie Boys. That part was true as Berry died at 52 in Danvers, Mass.
But the news story video featured photos and video clips of John Berry the country singer.
"I am saddened to hear of the news of the passing of Mr. Berry of the Beastie Boys, but I felt the need to let folks know I am okay," said Berry. "There was some apparent confusion with the journalist who put together the John Berry news video over at AOL. I just want to clarify that I am alive and well. I'd like to offer my condolences to Mr. Berry's family."
Berry announced this week that he would release a new album, "What I Love The Most," on June 3 through Mansion Entertainment / Sony RED.
