Rule of thumb: "Friends" and anonymous "legitimate sources" rarely make for good news. If it were announced that Stevie had breast cancer, it would be all over her official website, as well as all of the major news websites (see: Kylie Minogue). And there would surely be a ****load of threads about it here. It's very easy and always in your own best interests to do just a modicum of research before asking a question like this in a fan forum, lest you be accused of spreading vicious rumours, because yes, fans can be bitches sometimes when it comes to these kinds of things.
It's not your fault, you got slightly duped, but go back and read your initial post and I think you'll see why some people got a little up in arms over it. What kind of response would you expect if someone came here and posted, "Hi all, I just heard from a rather voluptuous acquaintance of mine that Stevie robbed a bank in Utah this morning, is this true?"
