Was Paul McCartney of iconic Beatles fame killed in a tragic car accident in 1966 and quickly replaced with a lookalike to ensure the band weren't prevented from reaching global superstardom? Did remaining band members then hide clues to Paul's demise within their music and album artwork?</p><p><br></p><p>We then discuss the internet theory that Avril Lavigne actually died in the early 2000s just as her career as a pop punk princess was taking off and was replaced by her lookalike, Melissa.</p><p>We finish off with a chat about the conspiracy theory around industry plants within showbusiness, acts manufactured by corporations to earn quick revenue and to potentially keep the youth away from any revolutionary-leaning mavricks.</p>","author_name":"Ami Henderson-Howes"}
