Van Morrison (NOT) a father at 64

UPDATE: On Dec. 31, representatives issued a statement on behalf of Van Morrison saying that this widely reported story was in fact a hoax, ”completely and utterly without foundation.” The misinformation was blamed on a hacker attack on the singer’s website.

Singer Van Morrison has become a father again at age 64, BBC News reports. In a statement on his website, the Irish-born crooner announced the Monday birth of George Ivan Morrison the III to Morrison and his manager, Gigi Lee. The “Brown-Eyed Girl” singer also has a 39-year-old daughter, singer-songwriter Shana Morrison, from his first marriage to Janet Minto.
