Irish blues legend Van Morrison has denied a report claiming he fathered a child with his manager, saying a widely reported birth announcement that appeared on his website three days ago was the result of a hacking attack and “completely and utterly without foundation.”
The publicity-shy crooner, now 64, has ordered his management to conduct an “immediate investigation” into the report that claimed he had a boy with his manager, Gigii Lee. The bogus statment said the kid’s name was George Ivan Morrison III and that he was “the spitting image of his daddy.”
Van insists he is happily married to wife Michelle Morrison. The couple are the parents of two.
