Rogue angel burned? It's just not true (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urban legend

'it's just not true' is the definition.

'rogue angel burned?' is the wordplay.
'rogue' indicates an anagram.
'angel'+'burned'='angelburned'
'angelburned' is an anagram of 'URBAN LEGEND'.

(Other definitions for urban legend that I've seen before include "apocryphal" , "popular myth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
