Jim Morrison is dead - Paul McCartney is alive.\n\nMorrison moved to Paris in March 1971 with the intention of taking a break from performing and concentrating on his writing.\n\nHe died soon thereafter on 3 July 1971, in his bathtub at the age of 27; many fans and biographers have speculated that the cause of death was a drug overdose, but the official report listed "heart failure" although there was apparently no autopsy performed.\n\nIn his book Wonderland Avenue, former Doors associate Danny Sugerman recounts that he briefly met with Pamela Courson when she returned to America in the mid-1970s. According to his account, Courson told him that Morrison had indeed died of a heroin overdose, and that she had administered it to him, since Morrison was reputedly afraid of needles and would not inject himself. Courson herself died of an overdose not long after her meeting with Sugerman.\n\nMorrison is buried in the famous Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris. In the past, some of his fans were nuisances, leaving litter, graffiti, and cannabis behind to the point where the gravesite is surrounded by a fence. In 1993, his parents visited the site and made arrangements with a cleaning company to have the graffiti removed from the nearby tombstones. (WGS84: N48°51´33.8´´ E02°23´37.2´´)\n\nSome conspiracy theorists contend that Morrison did not die in Paris. The fact that only two people saw his body has helped the rumor last over the past forty years. In fact, the doctor who signed the autopsy wasn't seen by anyone, and the only person to come forward and claim to have seen the body was Pam.\n\nAccording to friends and bandmembers of Morrison's, he planned to fake his death and move to Africa to avoid unwanted publicity. He told them that after arriving in Africa he would write to them under pseudonym, as "Mr. Mojo Risin'" - according to Robbie Krieger and other Doors members, they have yet to receive any letters; but many fans still feel his death was a hoax.\n\n\n\nOn 20 October 2001 McCartney took a lead role in organising the Concert for New York City, a celebration of the resilience, and pride of New York and America in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The concert was held at Madison Square Garden and featured performances by The Who, the Backstreet Boys, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Destiny's Child, Eric Clapton, Adam Sandler, Bon Jovi, Elton John, James Taylor and many more. McCartney was the final performer and debuted his song "Freedom."\n\nMcCartney continues to release pop albums (Run Devil Run, Wingspan: Hits and History, Flaming Pie, Driving Rain, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard), as well as campaign for the groups Greenpeace and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, among others.\n\nIn June 2002 McCartney married Heather Mills, a former model and anti-landmines campaigner, in a highly elaborate ceremony at Castle Leslie in Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland. He has joined with her to campaign against landmines, and he has donated substantial sums to the cause. In early 2003, for example, he held a personal concert for the wife of banker Ralph Whitworth and donated one million dollars to Adopt-a-Landmine. Paul and Heather's first child, Beatrice Milly, was born on October 28, 2003.\n\nMcCartney performed during the pre-game ceremonies at the NFL's Super Bowl XXXVI on 3 February 2002 and was the halftime performer at Super Bowl XXXIX on 6 February 2005. Unlike in many previous years, he was the only performer in the entire halftime show. His set consisted of "Drive My Car", "Get Back", "Live and Let Die" and "Hey Jude." It featured an interesting stage design, fireworks, and fan-held placards.\n\nMcCartney performed at the main Live 8 concert on 2 July 2005, playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with U2 to open the Hyde Park event (the song
