Paul McCartney

Now this, one of the oldest celebrity hoaxes, is not so much about how he died, but in the aftermath of his "death." In 1966, Paul McCartney was rumored to have died without explanation--because the rumors didn't circulate until years later, leading people to believe the Beatles singer had been replaced by a look-a-like McCartney. For years. Yeah, because the trillions of Beatles fans wouldn't have picked up on that one. Did we forget anybody?
