Rumours about Sir Ian McKellen’s death are greatly exaggerated and probably spread by people who don’t surf the Internet. If they did, they could go to McKellen’s official Web site (http://www.mckellen.com) and get the word about his alleged demise directly from Sir Ian, a.k.a. the wizard Gandalf from The Lord Of The Rings, posted on a page called Rumours False And True.
