Stand up the real Paul McCartney...

According to Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney died in 1966. Let another conspiracy theory begin.

I've never heard anything so preposterous. So we are to believe that the instant McCartney 'died', suddenly, as if by magic, his doppelganger appeared ? If those two images are supposed to convince us, then all I can say is that if they are a couple of different people, then McCartney has an identical twin.  And all this happened in the full glare of the Beatles popularity did it ?. What a crock of garbage.

I've always thought that Starr was not quite right in the head, and this outburst confirms it. He was a pretty mediocre drummer too.

I think Ringo may have been having a 'smoke'. The real McCartney is still with us ~ even though his voice appeared to have snuffed it about twenty years ago. Mind you, if was a bit iffy before that.

From being a teenager at school at the height of 'Beatlemania' this is the first  I've ever heard of this rumour.

According to Wikipedia, it's been around for some time.

In September 1969, American college students published articles claiming that clues to McCartney's supposed death could be found among the lyrics and artwork of the Beatles' recordings.

Me too, Margaret. Never heard so much as a whisper.

Funny that Mike McGear hasn't mentioned it over the years. Or Cilla Black. She'd have been privy to this 'phenomenon'. Not like her to keep her trap shut.

The only Paul McCartney listed in the death index around that time is in March 1965, and that is a baby born the same year in West Yorkshire.

I've never heard the rumour either. I'd bet my last penny that those two pictures are the same person although the one on the right looks about 10 years older. Every feature of those two faces is not just alike , but identical, even down to the shape of the nostrils. No two different people are that identical, except twins.

Scousers.

people should remember that

This conspiracy grew in the 60s at the same rate as the consumption of LSD

What a load of old cods... 

Ringo is seriously weird lol. I remember a while back he wanted his fans to stop sending him mail because he didn't want to reply anymore... and was quite firm that he would never reply to any fan mail ever again.

His brain's addled.

On radio  Newcastle yesterday they said none of it's true.

Ringo wasn't interviewed, and it's a fake news site.

These seem to bear that out.

There really are some gullible people

As there is no such publication as the Hollywood Inquirer I would think that is a pretty good indication that Ringo Starr wasn't interviewed by them!
