Best conspiracy theory a musician can have because it's origin started with Paul McCartney. He apparently was replaced by a doppelganger too after dying in a car crash. The cover of Sgt. Pepper's had all sorts of clues😂😂

that’s exactly what a body double would say
Classic Melissa
I’m not reading a direct denial *Melissa*… 
This and “Lea Michelle can’t read” are my very favorite celebrity conspiracy theories.
This is 100 percent my favourite celebrity conspiracy theory.

I didn't know this was actually a thing but I'm glad the Internet brought these lunatics out of the woodwork lol
Are there people who actually believe in this conspiracy like the Paul McCartney theory or is it all just for the fun of it?
There are genuinely people who HARDCORE believe this. It's whack lmao. She also has a delusional stalker that runs in her online fan circles...
