Are these famous quotes by musicians real or fake?

We may be living in the era of “fake news”, but as it turns out, it’s not a new phenomenon. False quotes have been made up and attributed to historical figures for centuries, and sometimes, they stick.

Take Marie Antoinette for example – did you know she never actually said, “Let them eat cake”? Nor did Marilyn Monroe ever say, “if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

And it seems our favourite musicians are often the most commonly caught up in these misquotations. So, with that in mind, just how good is your BS barometer? Test yourself with these famous music quotes and let us know your final score in the comments below!
