Music culture is defined by its larger than life figures. Gyrating Elvis, egomaniacal Kanye, strutting Jagger, shape-shifting Madonna, androgynous Bowie... They're all mythologised and built up to be strange, alien characters from another world that we don't fully understand. It's no surprise, then, that many of these idols are the focus of a wealth of crazy, creepy stories that border on the unbelievable (and are often a bit gross!). Sceptical? Of course you are. But then, you haven't read the compelling evidence that suggests that many of these stories are true. You haven't heard about the lyrics by The Beatles that discuss burying McCartney, or seen Marilyn Manson refusing to rule out eerie stories about removable ribs and self-adminstered oral sex. You haven't seen the photographs of Faith No More's vocalist urinating on his audience.
