 Folk rocker's obituary makes one BIG MISTAKE 


  LONDON (CNN) -- Dave Swarbrick, of the seminal folk-rock group Fairport
  Convention, was alive and chuckling, friends said Wednesday, after seeing a
  complimentary obituary published in a top British newspaper.

 The Daily Telegraph apologized for mistakenly reporting his death at the age of
 58 and carrying the obituary on Tuesday.

 Swarbrick was still hospitalized Wednesday, recovering from a chest infection.
  His wife Jill told the Daily Mail, "This is really going to tickle him pink."
