Why do people think that Glenn Miller could still be alive?
Glenn Miller was a very popular big band leader in the 40s. He was mega popular and he represented the clean-cut, all-American band image leader that the American and U.S. forces definitely wanted to use to boost morale. He went all over during the war, performing. Now what happened was towards the end of the war, he was pretty much burnt out. And it was reported that he was missing when a flight from England to Paris, on a way to a performance, his plane disappeared and his body was never recovered. Reports indicate - and it took two weeks before the government issued a final report that Glenn Miller had actually died. But actual reports indicate that maybe something else had happened. There are eyewitness accounts that they had seen Glenn Miller being taken out of a brothel after being a gunshot wound. Other reports indicated that he in fact died in 1981 of cancer and had secretly left the army and was living privately in France all this time. So here's the only performer who actually has four causes of death added to his name.
