TODAY IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY - 09/17/1069
Radio and print media on both sides of the Atlantic are full of stories that say Paul McCartney is dead. He was supposedly killed in a car accident in Scotland on November 9th, 1966 and that a double has been taking his place for public appearances. In fact, Paul and his girlfriend Jane Asher were on vacation in Kenya at the time. When a reporter contacted Paul at his Scottish farm, McCartney’s reaction was, “Do I look dead? I’m fit as a fiddle.” You can read more about The Paul McCartney Death Hoax in our Rock and Roll Mysteries section.
