Showbiz Cheat Sheet ^ | Nov 10 2022 | Ross Tanenbaum

While Paul McCartney continues to make music, there is a popular conspiracy theory that he died long ago. Beatles fans have analyzed every lyric and album cover to find hidden clues suggesting the British singer is dead. One piece of music history that fans of The Beatles use to justify this theory is the cover of Abbey Road, which contains plenty of supposed clues.

The conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney is dead sparked in 1967 but gained popularity in 1969. Many believed that Paul McCartney had died in 1966 in a car accident and had been replaced by a lookalike. According to Biography.com, the speculators based their claim on a car accident report involving one of McCartney’s many cars.

The theory died down after multiple interviews and videos were taken of McCartney, proving his living status, but many still believed it was the lookalike. Fans scoured through song lyrics, music videos, and album covers to find evidence that he was dead. The cover of Abbey Road became a popular source among conspirators as it contained hints that The Beatles could be covering up his death.

I saw Paul in concert 12 years ago. He’s very much alive. He and Lennon pulled off the biggest hoax scam with that rumor.

Plus, I don’t think that Linda McCartney would go along with a hoax and hand over her husband’s fortune just for a joke.

I saw a female comedienne on TV in the 1970’s...

She said, I’m certain that Paul is dead, because if you’ve, like, ever heard a “Wings” album......

Actually there are several Wings songs I like

Junior’s Farm is my favorite one

Impossible. No way a fake can write and sing inane jingles called songs.

I guess you never heard about Billy Shears? Even Ringo says that Paul is dead.

Do you know that the current "Paul McCartney" failed multiple paternity tests against him by women who were sure that he had gotten them pregnant?

I remember one summer I was home from college, and a very cute girl from my high school class told me, with great enthusiasm, about all the hidden clues that Paul was dead. She had done a research paper in college about the subject, and while I thought it was all ridiculous, I didn’t mind sitting there and listening.

I remember going to school and a kid in my classroom bringing in a Beatles record and demonstrating by playing the record backwards that said he was dead.

If I had a nickel for every paternity test I've failed!

I remember that! It was a fun few weeks looking for “clues”.

Then Paul ruined it all by showing up for interviews and stuff...

Or did he?

Linda didn’t marry Paul until 1969, so in theory, she could have married the look a like Paul. Although, it’s just a hoax. Paul is still very much making music today.

This article barely scratches the surface. What about I buried Paul and turn me on dead man?

I liked the first Paul better.
