13 Crazy Music Myths

Drinking urine? Feigning deaths? Hitchhiking with serial killers?

Have you heard about the the anonymous band that everyone believed was The Beatles in disguise? What about the holes in the murder case against Sid Vicious? Did Tupac really foresee his own death? Which bodily fluid is the beverage of choice for the Prince Of Darkness? Is the great Paul McCartney actually... Whisper it... The late Paul McCartney?! 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. And you've clearly never read about the overwhelming proof that the Illuminati is behind the musical successes of Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Study the evidence and decide for yourself...
