This was also when Paul McCartney had supposedly died in a car crash, so the remaining trio recruited McCartney-lookalike Billy Shears, and with him recorded the â??Sergeant Pepperâ?? album. In 1975, the â??lostâ?ť tapes were rediscovered and Lennon, Harrison, Starr and Shears decided to release the album as a tribute to their dead bass player. And if you believe thatâ?¦
