At some point, it was too much for John and he decided to leave the band.вЂќ When the first rumors finally began about the whole thing, we felt very nervous and started fighting a lot with each other. We thought the whole planet was going to hate us for all the lies we had told, so we kept lying but sending subtle clues to relieve our conscience. вЂњWe wanted to tell the world the truth, but we were afraid of the reactions it would provoke. вЂњWe felt guilty about the deceptionвЂќ added Ringo Starr. PepperвЂ™s Lonely Hearts Club Band album was awash with Paul-is-dead clues: the Beatles had indeed officiallyВ formed a вЂњnewвЂќ band featuring a вЂњfictionalвЂќ member named Billy Shears, which happened to be the actual name of PaulвЂ™s replacement. Starr alleges that the group did send out a lot of hidden messages through the years to prepare the population for the truth. These pictures from 1966 show the great resemblance between Paul McCartney on the left, and William Shears Campbell on the right, at the time of McCartneyвЂ™s alleged death. The only problem was that he couldnвЂ™t get along with John, at all.вЂќ William Shears Campbell, better known as Billy Shears, does indeed вЂњdisappearвЂќ from recordsВ in 1966 and noВ traces of him can be found after PaulвЂ™s alleged death. Billy turned out to be a pretty good musician and he was able to perform almost better than Paul. It was supposed to last only a week or two, but time went by andВ nobody seemed to notice, so we kept playing along. вЂњWe didnвЂ™t know what to do, and Brian Epstein, our manager, suggested that we hire Billy Shears as a temporary solution. вЂњWhen Paul died, weВ allВ panicked!вЂќ claims Ringo, obviously very emotional. To spare the public from grief, the Beatles replaced him with a man named William Shears Campbell, who wasВ the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest and who happened to have the same kind of jovial personality as Paul.

Starr explained that the вЂњrealвЂќ Paul McCartney had died in a car crash on November 9, 1966, after an argument during a BeatlesвЂ™ recording session. In an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Inquirer, Mr. 'Ringo's Big Birthday Show' - which will raise money for Black Lives Matter Global Network, MusiCares, The David Lynch Foundation and WaterAid - will air on that date on his YouTube channel.Tweet Beverly Hills | The former drummer of the Beatles, Ringo Starr, surprised the world this morning during an interview in his luxurious Californian residence when he admitted that the 45-year-old rumors about the alleged death of Paul McCartney in 1966 were actually true. The rock star - who has held special 'Peace and Love' celebratory concerts to mark his birthday on July 7 for the past 12 years - is bringing together the likes of Sheryl Crow and McCartney for a star-studded home event. He said: ''I still miss those two boys, but I've still got my brother.''ДЄlthough he can't have a party, Ringo has announced a special livestream benefit show for his 80th birthday. Ringo also opened on how he misses his late Beatles bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison, although he is grateful to still have final Fab Four member Sir Paul McCartney in his life. We're going to pretend I'm still 79 and have a big celebration next year.'' He remarked: ''The celebration is going to be very small. The coronavirus pandemic has put Ringo's plans for a big birthday celebration on hold and he joked that he could just remain 79 this year. It's like, 'What!' It's a difficult one, 70 was easy but this is totally different.'' The 'Yellow Submarine' singer feels shocked to be reaching the landmark age and thinks it will be harder to come to to terms with being an octogenarian than it was hitting 70. Pointing to his head, Ringo said: ''Man, I'm only 24 in here. The 79-year-old musician adds that he is ''only 24'' mentally and he thinks that making music keeps him feeling like a young man. Ringo explained: ''I've got a gym and I'm in there between three and six days a week.'' The music legend also has a home gym and he works out a minimum three days a week every week I just do stuff that I feel is good for me.'' In an interview with Rolling Stone to mark his milestone birthday, Ringo said: ''I am a vegetarian, I have broccoli with everything and blueberries every morning. The Beatles drummer will celebrate his 80th birthday on July 7 and he believes that his long-time vegetarian diet and penchant for that pairing of fruit and vegetable is what keeps him healthy and his appearance youthful.

Sir Ringo Starr claims that eating broccoli and blueberries keeps him looking young.
