Question

turnmeondeadman....

why do people say that he died?

Answer 1

Here's what I found on google.com:

In the late 1960s there was a popular theory that Paul McCartney was dead and replaced by an imposter. The Beatles had announced that they would never tour again, and many people wanted an explanation for this - the fantastical Death Theory was the one favoured. The theory suggests that Paul McCartney died in a car accident on the 9th November 1966, and was replaced by someone, named Billy Shears, who had surgery to look like Paul McCartney.

The evidence was contained in clues in the albums released by the Beatles, in the words and pictures they contained. Here then are those clues, and the evidence that claimed that Paul McCartney was dead. Here's the site I got this from:

Answer 2

As unbelievable as it may sound today, in the fall of 1969 a wild rumor began circulating in the media that Paul McCartney was dead. It all started when a caller named "Tom" phoned WKNR Radio in Detroit and asked disc jockey Russ Gibb if he'd heard that Paul McCartney was dead. The theory was advanced that the Beatles had replaced Paul with a "double" following his death in a car crash in 1966! To support this claim, theorists began pointing to "clues" left by The Beatles in their songs and on their album covers. The Beatles said it wasn't so, that it was merely a coincidence. But the story that Paul was dead wouldn't die. Even famed Defense Attorney F. Lee Bailey got into the act and actually did a syndicated television special on the rumor.
