Micky Dolenz, the last surviving member of The Monkees, recently issued a heartfelt warning to his fans. In a video posted to Instagram on Sept. 22, the 80-year-old singer urged followers not to believe or share AI-generated stories that use his name and image. “If you see wild news about me floating around on Facebook or X or Instagram, please know it’s fake,” Dolenz said.
Calling the scams “AI-generated nonsense,” Micky Dolenz asked fans to stay alert and avoid giving scammers attention or money. He stressed that official updates come only from his verified social media pages and website. To keep spirits high, Dolenz also promised, “I’ve got plenty of real surprises coming your way in 2026. Stay tuned right here for the truth.”

In his caption, Micky Dolenz warned that fake stories have spread widely in recent months. He wrote, “If it doesn’t come from my official socials or MickyDolenz.com, it isn’t real.” The Monkees’ official Instagram account also shared the post, reminding fans where they can find accurate updates.
Dolenz has stepped forward before. In July, he posted a similar message to calm fans after a wave of AI-generated reports claimed he was unwell, according to Parade. His steady voice and direct outreach show his commitment to both truth and the people who have supported him for decades.
Looking Ahead To 2026
Micky Dolenz also stirred excitement by hinting at future projects. His announcement came just days after The Monkees’ Instagram page teased “10-2-25.” Fans believe the date could reveal a box set celebrating the group’s 1967 album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.
As the sole surviving Monkee, Dolenz carries the group’s rich history forward. Classics like “Daydream Believer” and “I’m a Believer” remain staples for fans across generations. With his warning and promise of new surprises, Micky Dolenz proves he is still protecting his audience while keeping The Monkees’ spirit alive.
