Campbell, LaBour continued, was allowed to use his real voice on the single "Lady Madonna," which does sound unlike. Paul's usual style. Beatle manager George Martin, meanwhile, became "an important composer, all the while masquerading as Paul...
LaBour went on from there to spin a tale of how the Beatles have hoaxed the world since the "accident."
