"Paul McCartney is already dead" revealed by Ringo Starr in his recent interview. He confirms that the original Paul died way back in 1966 and he was just replaced by "Billy Shears" in order for the continued existence of "The Beatles".
PAUL IS DEAD ACCORDING TO RINGO STARR
There are recent reports that suggest that the current Paul McCartney is nothing but an impostor and the "original" Paul already died in 1966. According to a recent report, Ringo Starr revealed that Paul is dead in an interview with "Hollywood Inquirer". The Beatles drummer said that "When Paul died, we all panicked," adding that, "We didn't know what to do, and Brian Epstein, our manager, suggested that we hire Billy Shears as a temporary solution."
However he continued that "It was supposed to last only a week or two, but time went by and nobody seemed to notice, so we kept playing along. Billy turned out to be a pretty good musician and he was able to perform almost better than Paul. The only problem was that he couldn't get along with John, at all."
IS PAUL REALLY DEAD?
Nope, the reports are false. Paul McCartney is alive and well and he is the same Paul McCartney from the 1960s. Billy Shears is just a fictional character created in the lyrics of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the reports that he replaced Paul are false. The interview with Ringo Starr is false and "Hollywood Inquirer" doesn't even exist. It was just a fabricated story made by a spoof website which generated attention in the social media recently.
