April Fool's Day can bring out the best and worst in people. There are the harmless pranksters who put a whoopee cushion on your office chair, and there those evil jokers who'll tell you your favorite celebrity is dead.

Rock 'n' roll, it seems, brings out plenty of the latter type of pranks, whether it's an intentional hoax or an urban legend that won't go away. Well, we here at Spinner love a good joke, but we also don't want to perpetuate any myths, so we compiled a list of the best and/or most enduring myths, rumors and bamboozlements in rock history. Check out the gallery below, featuring Paul McCartney, Elvis, Marilyn Manson, Skrillex, the White Stripes and more -- you might just learn a thing or two.
