Paul is dead

"Paul is Dead" is a popular conspiracy theory suggesting that Paul McCartney, the Beatles' bassist, died in 1966 and was secretly replaced by a look-alike. Proponents point to alleged clues in Beatles' songs and album covers, such as hidden messages or symbolic imagery, which they interpret as evidence of McCartney’s supposed death. The theory has been debunked, but it remains a notable example of how fans analyze art for hidden meanings, reflecting widespread fascination with celebrity and the power of suggestion.
