Yes, you read that right. Speculation circulated that the original Macca died in 1966 in a car accident after having offered a lift to a female hitch-hiker. Frankly, we can't be bothered to give further life to this ludicrous theory. Conspiracy theorists say... That's not Paul McCartney, the most sucessful recording artist of all time who has released 24 studio albums since his death. It's little-known actor William Shears Campbell, silly. Look at the Abbey Road cover, it's a funeral cortege. John's the priest, Ringo's the mourner, Paul is a sans-shoed dead bloke and George is the grave-digger. There are no words.
