  • Paul Is NOT Dead: The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi and a History of Musical Death Hoaxes

    The Beatles formally released a press statement on October 21 during 1969 to deny claims that Paul McCartney had died. He wasn't the first celebrity to undergo a death hoax nor would he be the last.
