Yet another example that theorists point to is the significance of the black walrus that appears on the cover of their 1967 album Magical Mystery Tour. On 12 October 1969, a Detroit DJ accidentally sparked one of musics most notorious conspiracy theories Paul is dead. In the picture, John is wearing all white, just like a priest Ringo’s all dressed in black like a pallbearer and George is bringing up the rear in a blue-jean getup, the gravedigger of the group.Īnd Paul? The supposedly deceased Beatle walks shoeless across the road, theorists say, because he’s dead. Conspiracy theorists, however, are convinced that the album is a huge confirmation that McCartney is, in fact, dead. At first glance, the image looks harmless. Then there’s the famous cover for Abbey Road, in which all four bandmates are crossing the street toward their studio. Play “I’m So Tired” backwards, and you get a recorded phrase that sounds kind of like, “Paul is dead, miss him, miss him.” Slow down “Strawberry Fields Forever” and you can hear John saying, “I buried Paul.” (In interviews, however, Lennon has explained that the phrase was actually “cranberry sauce.”) The supposed audio clues didn’t stop there. The songs, album covers and even playing the songs backwards provides believers with plenty of proof that Paul is playing that great gig in the sky.
Conspiracy theorists see clues everywhere. Perhaps one of the best-known is their 1968 track “Revolution #9,” which, if played backward, has one part that sounds a lot like a violent car crash and a voice that can be made out to be saying, “He hit a pole! Better get him to see a surgeon.” This Paul is Dead conspiracy has to be the greatest urban myth in rock’n’roll history.

Paul is Dead: New evidence based on computer enhanced forensic techniques. And so, the story goes, the Beatles were able to continue on with their hit-making career undisturbed, their big secret well hidden from the world.īut, according to McCartney truthers, Lennon, Harrison and Starr began to feel guilty about their cover-up, so they began leaving clues that hinted at McCartney’s untimely death via their album covers and even in their songs themselves.
