Yahoo compiled a short list of the greatest music mysteries, hoaxes and rumors.
Check it out here:

While that’s a great list and I agree with all of it…I wanted to point out some other very important ones that they are missing:
- Keith Richards snorting his father’s ashes (how can they forget this one?)
- Led Zeppelin going on world tour and record new album (Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham have been getting these rumors non stop since the great O2 reunion. The band only came back for that one gig, ever since then people never stopped talking about them touring when the band has denied it every single time)
- Jimmy Page being a devil worshipper…(Page has been accused of being supportive of Satan and the devil, due to his weird Black Magic and the song “Stairway to Heaven” being about something similar.)
- David Bowie is gay (like the article says, there were rumours of David Bowie sleeping with Mick Jagger, and David has been accused of being gay plenty of times over the years, but the man has always denied it. Sometimes he’s admitted to it and next thing he denies it back and forth. Reason people probably think Bowie is gay is because back in the 60’s and 70’s, David used to wear all this weird make up and costumes when he’s performing on stage.)
- Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” played backwards where there’s a line that says “it’s fun to smoke marijuana”.
- Jim Morrison is alive in France.
- Milli Vanilli was the first musician to get caught lip synching.
- David Lee Roth almost killed by eating peanuts, been hospitalized for it too while driving. Remember this story? Turns out that the guy that almost died eating peanuts wasn’t really him, it was a David Lee Roth look alike. The real David Lee Roth denied this story, sayin’ it was all bunch of baloney, and David is still alive and well.
I’m sure there are plenty of more. Feel free to name some that aren’t listed yet.
