Paul Is DeadThis one goes deep: On November 9, 1966, at the height of Beatlemania, Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash. The remaining Beatles thought it would ruin their success and secretly replaced him with a lookalike named Billy Shears. Their guilt led them to drop clues on their albums, like the funereal cover of Sgt. Pepper, car crash sounds on Revolution #9, and the famous backward-masked "Paul is dead" message on I'm So Tired. Were they tired of keeping the secret??[Image via DyD Fotografos/Future Image/WENN.]
