I'm an elementary school music teacher, and my 4th graders are learning "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" as part of their spring program. We were rehearsing yesterday and one of them asked me who Billy Shears was. I'm clueless. I tried looking it up online, but there's all sorts of different stories and I don't know what's true and what's not.
Help? (No pun intended)

According to these sites:

Billy Shears was a fictitious person. There are some very interesting stories here.
Very interesting. Thanks a bunch. My kids will get a kick out of this!
