Confused fans thought pop star Madonna was dead, after confusing her with Diego Maradona.
The Argentine footballing icon died of a heart attack in his home outside of Buenos Aires aged 60 on Wednesday.
Fans took to Twitter to express their sorrow, but many thought it was the ‘Get Into The Groove’ singer who had passed away.

Someone at work told me Maradonna was dead and I really didn’t know who that was and assumed they were mispronouncing Madonna so I’ve had Like a Virgin in my head the last few hours mourning Madonna for literally no reason before I looked at my phone
