Unfortunately, the satire was lost on many of those who read the story and took it as the gospel truth.
The photoshoot happened on August 8, 1969.īut who's to blame for the "Paul is dead" theory truly blowing up? Most sources name two Michigan men - disc jockey Russ Gibb, who entertained a caller asking about the rumors for one whole hour on October 12, 1969, and University of Michigan student Fred LaBour, who, two days later, co-wrote an article on McCartney's "death" based on several alleged Easter eggs hidden in recent Beatles songs and albums, all of which he had made up (via Michigan Today).

That "28IF" license plate, pointing to Macca's age had he been alive at the time of the shoot? You do the math - James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942. But aside from McCartney confirming he went barefoot because the photoshoot took place on a hot day, other clues on the "Abbey Road" cover don't add up. This culminated with the album cover of 1969's "Abbey Road," where all four Beatles were dressed up as people in a funeral, including the shoeless McCartney as the person being buried.
