Paul McCartney out, replaced by lookalike


Paul McCartney died in 1966: Here's the 'proof'
(Music Mongoose) March 14, 2024: UNITED KINGDOM. "Paul is dead." Apparently, Paul McCartney is at the center of one of the greatest conspiracy theories in music history. Researchers and investigators think the original McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double (who won a Beatles' contest for a lookalike) names William Shears Campbell (or Billy Shears). Let's examine the clues from the Abbey Road album cover, songs played in reverse, and even his ears changing shape all of a sudden after the switch.


[Actually, the original Paul McCartney did not die in a car crash and is not physically dead as such. But he is dead to fans because he chose to leave the Beatles, reverting to an ordinary life of obscurity and anonymity, with the other members in on the cover up to save their fame and careers. The others were not about to break up over him leaving music, and the record label was not going to lose all that money, so the solution was to install Campbell/Shears to carry on with the impersonation, which really paid off. Proof he's alive? One can visit his old house in England and meet him, as people have done through a street tour, talked to him, and filmed it.]

*CORRECTIONS:
  • McCartney was on holiday (vacation) with Mal Evans in Kenya, not Jane Asher. (Thanks ‪@areamusicale‬).
  • Paul storming out did happen in 1966, but it was for sessions for "She Said She Said." This happened earlier in the year and is possibly what the December story is based on. (Thanks ‪@areamusicale‬)
  • At 8:19 I should have said "9th of November" instead of  "11th of November"
