Chris Colfer, the latest victim of Twitter hacking, confirms he is not leaving "Glee" anytime soon.
"Glee" fans raised an uproar when Chris Colfer announced on Twitter that he was leaving the soap due to personal issues.
"Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE. Explanations will come shortly ... " the tweet read.
The actor later clarified that the tweet was not sent by him and that his Twitter account had been hacked. The announced brought relief to the otherwise frantic fans. The tweet has been deleted too.
"It appears his Twitter was hacked," Colfer's rep told PEOPLE magazine. "He's on a flight and he will be returning next season. Fans, don't worry."
Studio 20th Century Fox Television also just issued a statement confirming that Colfer will be back for the final season.
"We've been alerted that Chris Colfer's Twitter account has been hacked. Rumors of his dismissal from Glee could not be further from the truth. We love Chris and look forward to working with him again this season," Hollywood Life reported citing a rep from the production house.
Colfer has been a part of the show's cast since its inception. He was also one of the founding members of "New Foundation" - the new turn "Glee" took after its original cast finished high school and moved on in lives. In October last year, Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the show, announced that Season 6 will mark the end of the series. The show has already undergone many changes following the death of its lead character Cory Monteith. The network was forced to kill the actor's character "Finn" in season 5.
According to reports, Murphy and his team decided that the series would end with highlights of Finn (Monteith) and Rachel's (Lea Michele) love story. However, since that is not possible, the production team is working on a new ending for the series.
"I always knew that, I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was -- he was in it," Murphy said. "I knew what the last line was -- she said it to him. So when a tragedy like that happens, you sort of have to pause and figure out what you want to do, so we're figuring that out now."
Colfer already has an alternative career set for him - he's an established and successful author. He's a bestselling author of the children's fiction series "The Land Of Stories". The first novel in the series, "The Wishing Spell", was on the New York Times' Bestseller List for five weeks, and reached #1 for two of those five weeks.
