Fake headline. Gun was not being used as a prop in a video.
His musical influences aren’t very germane to the story, are they? How about “what was he doing when the gun went off?”
I’d guess there’s a lot more to this story.
Even blanks will kill at short range.
This “shot dead with a prop gun” seems to happen about once per decade.

We need more gun control, only knowledgeable and trained experts like Hollywood and Entertainment Industry stars should be allowed to possess firearms and demonstrate their proper use.
Lesson #1 - Don’t play with guns, props or real. They can kill you.

Guns are always loaded. It is idiocy to point them at people without making D@mn certain that they are not fireable.

Lessons of this story guns aren’t toys. Also entertainers a crime don’t mix.

this is what happens when you don’t respect a weapon. they are not toys.
