According to Ringo Starr, the cover of Abbey Road symbolized a funeral with a hidden message. John Lennon in white represented the priest, Ringo Starr in black represented the undertaker, George Harrison in jeans and t-shirt represented the gravedigger and McCartney who looks different from the other band members with his bare foot represented the dead body.
Rumors about Paul’s death started 45 years ago but these were always dismissed by the band members and friends as bullshit. US college students published a series of articles on September 1969 and claimed that McCartney is dead and this can be seen from the lyrics and Beatles albums.
The hint collection turned into an international phenomenon just in few weeks. The rumors only ended after McCartney gave a modern interview to Life magazine in November 1969.
Neither Paul McCartney nor any of his friends commented on Ringo Starr’s statement but this interview faced reaction all around the world. Numerous journalists and paparazzi surrounded his house just in few minutes after the interview was published and started to wait for an answer.
British Security Service MI5 also announced that it has launched an investigation against the possibility that there is a rogue posing as Sir James Paul McCartney, the holder of the British Imperial Order, at the ceremonies attended by Queen Elizabeth II for 48 years.
