The American country-pop band Dan + Shay, composed of guys Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, remains one of the questions in the international music market despite the spread of constant and false online rumors. The most recent rumor falsely claimed that the duo had experienced personal tragedies involving their wives. It was an entirely baseless story that spread quickly across social media.
