Sugar Ray rocker sorry for 'gruesome death' hoax

Plenty of celebrities have been enraged by rumors of their deaths, but when a story emerged of a particularly grisly end for rocker Mark McGrath he was the one apologizing. In a PR stunt that largely fell flat, a press release Thursday announced that the lead singer of Sugar Ray -- the band popular in the 1990s whose hits included "When It's Over" -- had been shot dead. A masked gunman shot McGrath several times as he filmed a show on the edgy comedy network Adult Swim and he "died in the arms" of his co-host, the release said. In a mockery of online tributes, the press release asked fans to remember the Sugar Ray singer on social media by posting selfie photos of themselves with sugar packets over their hearts.
