10 Bizarre Conspiracy Theories About The Deaths Of Music Icons
2. Jimi Hendrix Faked His Death And Is Now Living As Actor Morgan Freeman
One of the most absurd conspiracies on our list involves the all-time great guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The rock icon died of a drug overdose back in 1970.
However, for whatever reason, theories on the internet began to surface, suggesting that Hendrix faked his death and lives on as Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. That being said, the evidence to support this idea is far from compelling.
The basis for the theory hinges on the fact that some believe they bear an uncanny resemblance to one another, they both like music, and Freeman's big break came just after Hendrix's death. Oh, and the actor happens to own a bar that plays live music.
Of course, there doesn't seem to be any viable reason as to why the musician would have wanted to fake his death. Moreover, the fact Freeman's acting career began in 1964, roughly four years before Hendrix's demise, is also a bit hard to explain for those who subscribe to this theory.
