"'Paul McCartney' admits to being an imposter
Saturday, 01 April 2006
By Markus Hernandez
LONDON (Reuters) - Since 1966, crazed rumors have been spreading among Beatles fans who claim Paul McCartney to be dead. For many years, 'clues' were believed to have been put on album covers to show hints that Paul McCartney was indeed dead. And now, the few that have believed all these years are having their day - billy McCartney has admitted that he is not who he seems.
This morning at 7:38 AM, McCartney admitted to the world that he had been playing a game all these years. Billboard reporter Dennis Harry was the first to know. 'I'd done previous reports with billy,' Harry says. 'He called me up one morning and said there was something important. I ran right over.'
'There are varying degrees of truth in the stories,' says Paul. 'My birth name was William Campbell, as many have speculated - but there was no look-a-like contest. [That's] complete hogwash.' But why, after all these years, has Campbell decided to show himself? 'I've made many happy and I am ready to retire. After my last tour, I sat down with Heather and we decided that it would be best to let the fans know. They deserve it.'
According to Campbell, the real Paul McCartney died in 1966. 'There was a car crash in, I believe, August,' Campbell recalls. 'I was a studio musician that artists would call if they needed someone to play something or another. At the time, I had worked with George Martin before and he told me that he really enjoyed my work. Next time, he said, that he needed a favor, I'd be the first to know. I had no idea what that statement would lead to!'
Like the rumors have stated, Paul McCartney did indeed die in 1966. A fatal car crash tragically took the lives of Paul and a woman (who will not be named at this time). Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, made a decision that in order to keep the progress in the band, something had to be done. Everything was kept in order to make sure the accident stayed quiet. But, something had to be done - who would play the 'cute' Beatle?
Campbell gives us the answer. 'I got a call from Brian Epstein at four o'clock in the morning. [He] said that George had referred me to him. He said he had a life changing experience waiting, and that he needed me ASAP at his record store - NEMS, I believe.'
And, the transformation began. Rapidly, Campbell agreed to go into recontructive surgery to make himself look like Paul McCartney. The head surgeon refused to comment, but one of his assistants did. 'I think we did a pretty decent job. We managed to make the bloke look just like Paulie himself - the only problems were, although plastic surgery can alter skin, we didn't have the technology at that time to change bone structure. If you look at some of the photos after 1966, you can see that William's facial characteristics - especially his chin - are much different than the real Paul.'
But, William was not just a stand-in. Campbell recalls, 'After a while, I think we were beginning to get afraid that I didn't sound enough like Paul McCartney. That's one of the head reasons we retired to a studio band in 1966. Since I was a natural righty, I always had trouble playing live with the boys. Luckiliy, the fans usually couldn't hear us anyways. Regardless, during the studio, I always played righty unless there was a sit-in photographer. Brian took utmost attention to keeping it a secret.'
Beatles fans around the world are shocked, but many are relieved. The owner of a popular 'Paul Is Dead' website commented, 'It's more of a relief than anything. We had faith all along, and it was only a matter of time before the world found out.'
Although we were not able to physically interview Ringo Starr, we did receive an email from him. Starr states, 'I was never informed of William's choice to come out. It's been bothering us since 1967 - it just never felt right, lying to so many people. When George died, it killed me inside to know I was the only Beatle left.'
Ringo also stated that it was John's idea to put clues in album covers. 'The level of guilt was amazing,' Ringo wrote. 'You can't just replace someone that's been your best friend for your entire life. It doesn't work that way.'
At least now we know the truth. Campbell also told us, 'Paul is buried in a Liverpool cemetary. Since McCartney is a fairly common last name, nobody bothered to notice. I thank George Martin for giving me the opportunity of a life time, and I apologize to anybody I've let down or disappointed. I'm just glad to get it off my chest.'
