Don't believe the lies! Usher is alive and well... and ripped!

The internet was ablaze with rumors Tuesday that the R&B singer had died tragically in a car crash, so to clear up the confusion, the "Confessions" crooner tweeted this picture with the caption, "I must've died and went to heaven...Alive and cold kicking a**!!"

Thank goodness we don't have to comfort Justin Bieber over the loss of his mentor!

It's a good thing the 31-year-old father of two is still kickin', because he is gearing up for a series of collaborations with the "Boyfriend" singer that will be released on both their respective albums.

Selena Gomez' main man is already hyping up his fans to get them excited for the new tunes. Yesterday he tweeted: "Now headed to a COVER SHOOT with big bro @UsherRaymondIV - we got duets on both our albums coming."

We can already feel the fire from these two burning up the charts!
