The former British Prime Minister was one of the biggest global political figures in the 70s and 80s, and yesterday died following a stroke. However, a hashtag on Twitter seemed to confuse some over who was in fact dead.

With #nowthatchersdead trending worldwide, some on Twitter misread the hashtag and thought hat it was the pop singer Cher who had passed away.

We can confirm that the 67 year-old American actress and singer is still in the land of the living!

Hat-tip to IronMikeNolan for tweeting this in.
