Crazy conspiracy theory claims The Beatles never existed and the whole band were BODY DOUBLES
Truth seekers claim there is visible proof that the iconic musicians were clones
A BONKERS conspiracy theory has emerged, claiming that the Beatles never really existed.
The crazy claims argue that rock stars John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who stormed the British music scene in the 1960s and 70s, were actually "clones" or "body doubles".
The theorists claim to have visible proof that the stars differ throughout the years, so there is no way they can be the same people.
Website Beatles Never Existed (TBNE) is home to the wacky theory, and it includes numerous images supposedly showing the proof.
Sceptics questioned whether the differences seen in photos are simply due to editing or surgery.
However, Dorie, the founder of the website, stated to the Daily Star: "Even if one or two [photos] are doctored here or there, and someone had surgery, why don't they all match?
"They look different instead of identical."
If all that isn't crazy enough, there is a further side to the theory.
Dorie claims there were actually THREE John Lennons.
Photos supposedly taken in 1963 and around the time of the White Album in 1968 show different people, according to the strange theory.

Dorie said: "[The] biggest discrepancies I see are his lips [they are] curved and then straight."
In fact, the theory takes into account every minute detail of the icon's faces.
"The space between his eyes, [there is a] big difference," Dorie insists.
According to Dorie the swaps happened pretty frequently too.
It's claimed there was a John substitute in the mere seven-month gap between albums With the Beatles, out in 1963, and 1964's A Hard Day's Night.
The proof? A difference in his pupil alignment.
This was supposedly due to the band's "gruelling schedules".
John apparently goes from having "shorter, straighter noses" to "longer, more complex noses," and has "noticeably different" ears.
The bizarre theory doesn't stop there.
Dorie is adamant there were a minimum of 12 different Paul McCartney body doubles.
A "chin scar" that periodically re-appears is at the centre of the claim, in addition to alleged changes to his face shape, ears and nose.
It's even suggested his eyes change colour in the We Can Work it Out music video.
One theory is that the "real" Paul died in a car crash in 1966.
George Harrison's eye levels and teeth apparently differ in some images, leading to claims he used a double too.
Ringo Starr didn't get off lightly either - although no one seems to be able to agree on how many body doubles he and George used.
This is not the only recent claim surrounding the Beatles. The Sun recently reported on how John Lennon received a chilling death prophecy before he was shot.
Perhaps this bonkers theory will receive mention in the upcoming new film The Beatles: Eight Days A Week that will no longer star Ed Sheeran.
