"Paul is dead"

  The rumors began in 1966, shortly after the release of Revolver, when the Beatles stopped touring due to the difficulty of playing live more complex and unusual arrangements. All because of a motorcycle accident supposedly suffered by Paul McCartney.

The Legend

  According to the legend, Paul has died in a car accident at 5 a.m on a Wednesday, November 9th, 1966. He has been hit by a vehicle while he was driving. The news spread across the world, it became fans' obsession, turned into books, TV specials, websites and films.

  In the music "A Day In The Life" we can see it neatly: "he blew his mind out in a car…he didn’t notice that the lights had changed". Also in "I Am The Walrus": John sings: "I am the walrus", but then, someone says: "No you're not! Say Little Nicola!”, and then to complete, on the White Album, John sings:  "and here's another clue for you all…the walrus was Paul…" (song: Glass Onion)

The entire set of elements of this layer would be a kind of funeral (Paul's). Looking at all those people, note the flower arrangements typical of a funeral.

A car seems to come to Paul. Or, as the British drive on the left hand, it seems that the car has reached Paul and moved on. Paul is the only barefooted Beatle. There is an English custom of being buried in bare feet.

  

  But now you might be wondering: "who is the man who made a concert in Brazil?". William Campbell, musician, almost as talented as Paul and had won a Paul McCartney look-alike contest. The truth is that the boy has never been seen in his town after that.
