He's the singer for the make-believe ''Sgt. Pepper'' band (Ringo). The band that performs that album is NOT The Beatles.
There's also the famous Paul is dead myth, and that Billy Campbell replaced Paul from '66 to '69, and that ''BILLY Shears'' is one of the clues, but that's crap.
I think.

Isn't there some really quiet message saying "I buried Paul" somewhere?

It's in Strawberry Fields Forever, but it's saying "cramberry sauce" or something.

Here's a site full of clues... there's tons of sites like this. Link
Strawberry Fields Forever has John saying ''Cranberry Sauce'' during the end freakout, some people thought it may be ''I Buried Paul''... they should clean the wax out of their ears!
But there's lots of other backwards messages and clues in their artwork and lyrics.
I personally think he's alive, call me crazy. O_0
If not, that Billy Campbell was quite a find!

Ah cheers, I think I read about that in some BoC interview... I like little myths like that that spring up around music. Gives you something to talk about while you wait for the next release ;)

I know, some of the clues are reeeeaaally stretching it! But some are pretty freaky.
And some of the secret messages are unsettling too. I never listen to them alone.

Narrator: Stig, meanwhile, had hidden in the background so much that in 1969, a rumor went around that he was dead. He was supposed to have been killed in a flash fire at a waterbed shop and replaced by a plastic and wax replica from Madame Tusseaud's. Several so-called "facts" helped the emergence of this rumor. One: he never said anything publicly. Even as the "quiet one," he'd not said a word since 1966. Two: on the cover of their latest album, "Shabby Road," he is wearing no trousers, an Italian way of indicating death. Three: Nasty supposedly sings "I buried Stig" on "I Am The Waitress." In fact, he sings, "E burres stigano," which is very bad Spanish for "Have you a water buffalo?" Four: On the cover of the "Sergeant Rutter" album, Stig is leaning in the exact position of a dying Yeti, from the Rutland Book of the Dead. Five: If you sing the title of "Sergeant Rutter's Only Darts Club Band" backwards, it's supposed to sound very like "Stig has been dead for ages, honestly." In fact, it sounds uncannily like "Dnab Bulc Ylno S'rettur Tnaegres." Palpable nonsense.
Narrator: In the midst of all this public bickering, "Let it Rot" was released as a film, an album, and a lawsuit. In 1970, Dirk sued Stig, Nasty, and Barry; Barry sued Dirk, Nasty, and Stig; Nasty sued Barry, Dirk, and Stig; and Stig sued himself accidentally. It was the beginning of a golden era for lawyers, but for the Rutles, live on a London rooftop, it was the beginning of the end.

heres some finds:
Worried about losing their public or something, the Beatles decided to hide the death and get a replacement instead. The replacement was named. . . Billy Shears. We don't remember the supposed chronology, but it was just before the release of Sgt. Pepper. In any case, John was haunted by Paul's death, because he felt that if he had been there, Paul wouldn't have been driving where the accident happened.
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
In regards to Sgt. Pepper's, there never was a person named "Billy Shears", the Beatles were using a play on words to express that William Campbell was in the group:
Billy Shears = BillyS hears = Billys hear = Billys here
Billy was there, and the Beatles were introducing William (Billy) Campbell.

Yeah, Billy Shears = Ringo.
A Day in the Life is so rediculously the best song on there that it sticks out like a sore thumb. I almost feel the same about "I am the Walrus" on MMT.

billy shears is not a real person... watch the anthology DVD and they explain the whole concept behind the album.
they had stopped touring so they sent the album (and lonely hearts club band) on tour.

also 'here's another clue for you all... the walrus was paul'
in another song 'i was the walrus... but now i'm john'...... so walrus could be either of them.
also a little trivia i picked up about veruca salt paying tribute to the beatles:
1) -beatles sing 'here's another clue for you all, the walrus was paul'.
-veruca salt sing 'here's another clue if you please, the seether's louise'.
2)VS album is called 'eight arms to hold you', that was the working title for the movie 'help'.
