"Rumour Mill" is a song by British drum and bass band Rudimental. It features vocals from Anne-Marie and Will Heard . The song was recorded for Rudimental's second album, We the Generation and was released as the fourth single on 28 August 2015.

Scuttlebutt in slang usage means rumor or gossip, deriving from the nautical term for the cask used to serve water (or, later, a water fountain).

One variant is the Maki-Thompson model. [2] In this model, rumor is spread by directed contacts of the spreaders with others in the population.
An infodemic is a rapid and far-reaching spread of both accurate and inaccurate information about certain issues.
