No baby for Van Morrison - website was hacked
Thursday, 31 December 2009 13:50

Singer Van Morrison has exclusively told RTÉ Radio's News at One programme that his official website was hacked and a 'statement' that appeared on it about him fathering a child with his manager is completely untrue and 'utterly without foundation'.

Speaking exclusively to RTÉ's News at One programme, a spokesman for Van Morrison said once claims made in the statement were brought to their attention it was removed immediately from the website. He said the reports were complete and utter fiction. (Listen to the interview with John Saunders)

News organisations throughout the world reported the details of the fake statement, which claimed Mr Morrison's 'American manager' named as Gigi Lee had given birth to a baby boy fathered by Mr Morrison.

The fake statement said the baby, named George Ivan Morrison III, had been born on Monday and was described as 'the spitting image of his daddy'.

It is the second time that the singer's website has been hacked.

In an exclusive statement to RTÉ's News at One today, Mr Morrison told RTÉ that he has asked his management team to carry out an 'immediate investigation' into the most recent attack, which occurred on 29 December.

In the statement, Mr Morrison said he is very happily married to Michelle Morrison.
