The music industry is a wild and crazy place. It’s filled with world-famous stars and their wild, hard-to-believe stories. People can’t get enough of that juicy gossip, whether from tabloids, interviews, books, or social media. And it’s become big business to report on these larger-than-life superstars. But not all the reports that come out are real. With all the secrecy and scandal around the music biz, it’s no wonder that there are tons of crazy myths and urban legends floating around. And many of those are just flat-out false! Today, we’ll dive deep into ten notorious urban legends from the world of music. As it turns out, these ten myths are totally phony—even if overzealous fans have spread them as gospel for decades. It’s time to set the record straight!

Specifically, the ring-necked version of the bird is all over the island. They’re not native, and they don’t migrate, so they didn’t just fly over from Africa or India. Somebody actually brought them to Britain and set them free to roam. Since then, they’ve multiplied and multiplied, and now they are a mainstay. But who brought them to live here in the first place? And why? One long-standing rumor claims it was Jimi Hendrix’s fault. As the story goes, he supposedly released a pair of parakeets on Carnaby Street during his 1968 London trip. For years now, no one has been able to say for sure if that really happened. And even if it did, Hendrix wouldn’t be responsible for the population. Parakeet sightings in Britain go all the way back to the 1800s. Plus, biologists now believe the first big release was likely in the early 1930s when “parrot fever” hit. English owners let their pets loose, and the rest is history. Experts think there were other occasions when large numbers of parakeets were released too. One significant event could be the Great Storm of 1987, which wrecked birdhouses across the country. That’s how these parakeets became feral and established themselves in Britain. Ever since, it’s caused a bit of a problem. But all those things combine to make one point on the matter: Jimi Hendrix is cleared! Even if he did release a pair of parakeets in 1968, they weren’t the reason for Britain’s aviary infestation. [1] 9 The Monkees: Not Bestsellers The Monkees’ Mike Nesmith Micky Dolenz Open Up Like Never Before Studio 10 The Monkees are a beloved band, but even they sometimes took things too far. Take a claim that has been floating around for years about how, in 1967, they outsold both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined. Think about that. Of course, the claim was false! Outselling the Beatles and Stones (combined!) in the ’60s? No way! But the way it was started in the first place is an interesting early entry into the world of “fake news.”
Monkees member Mike Nesmith admitted in 2015 that he completely made up the sales claim. To drive the point home in that 2015 interview, he called it a “complete fabrication” and a “lie.” The origin of this falsehood can be traced back to a 1977 interview in Australia. At the time, Nesmith was tired and bored of media appearances, so he decided to playfully mislead the interviewer by mixing fact with fiction.
“Then came a point where he asked me about the sales of the Monkees records, and I saw the chance,” Nesmith recalled. “I said flatly that we sold over thirty-five million records in 1967. More than the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined… he diligently wrote all this down, and I wondered for a moment if I had chosen too outrageous a lie to tell, but it turned out it had been just right.” Oops!

These talented stars all tragically passed away at...
