Well. no. He's not dead yet thankfully. I love Paul and he is in my most humble opinion, the greatest living musician/songwriter alive. Yes, he's still alive despite what that horrid peg leg wifey has done to him! This is one of those urban legends that is truly fascinating: Ya see, sometime in late 1966 I believe, as The Beatles were busy recording their revolutionary album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Paul left the studio late one night into the wee hours, and distracted by some pretty girl on the sidewalk, horrifically crashed his car into a light pole or something and his face and hair caught on fire, and it was the end of the original Paul McCartney. DEAD!
What tha hell would The Beatles do now? The biggest most popular group on Earth at the time with millions of fans the world over who could not be let down with such tragic news! Well, they had to replace dead Paul with a fake! A phony! An impostor! They held some lookalike contest, and found their man, who from then on would act, sing, and play like Paul. Or in this case, the fake Paul = FAUL! AHAHAHAAHAHAH! Yeah, you'll read many websites referring to him as such: Faul, which is quite funny to me, and actually kind of creepy. There's actual comparisons of Faul's facial features compared to the original Paul and it ends up making yer skin crawl when looking at the supposed evidence.
Were The Beatles themselves having fun with all of this? There exist supposedly, tons of clues and little hints in their album artwork and song lyrics/titles, that the original Paul was indeed dead and replaced with Faul. Fans even went as far as to play songs backwards in order to reveal hidden messages about the whole impostor cover-up. Like I said, pretty fascinating stuff, and kind of creepy man!
Shit, if indeed that man now posing as Sir Paul McCartney is the replacement lookalike, they sure found a very talented stand-in indeed. He went on to write really good songs like Hey Jude with The Beatles, then wrote more great hits with his 70s super group Wings.
Nah, this has to an urban myth.
It has to be.
Right?!

Sometime in the last decade he was replaced once again. This time with Bea Arthur.
Bea Arthur? HAHAHAHA!!!!!
I never heard THAT urban legend before today.
Hmmm... I hear John Lenon and Elvis will be appearing with George Harrison and Ringo Star in an upcoming event.
Oh...wait... is Ringo alive?
:P
wow, wtf, you just accessed the deep dark depths of my 250gb hardrive of memory. I remember those "Paul is dead" rumors. and i believed them.
as the reincarnation of brian epstein, now a "bi female" stuck in men's gay bars being totally ignored and not finding woment hat appealing much either, I must only add this..
This rumor that Paul died in the 60's is utter rubbish. We all know it was George who died in the 60's and was replaced by a ghastly ghoul with a space in his front teeth by the name of doug hewitt. The chap is strangely missing these days, looking far younger than his 60 plus years, and doing security work to pay penance for his prior existence as Gandhi, and former impersonation of one of the fab four. Oloracias!
