Some people believe Paul was on the last American tour (1966), but I believe he was taken out of the group in Hong Kong on July 3, 1966 when The Beatles stopped there for a plane refueling before going to the Philippines.
Life magazine had an article about The Beatles in its July 15, 1966 issue titled "Beatles Under Wraps in Tokyo." It talks about Japanese merchants visiting The Beatles in their hotel room and the purchases they made. The article describes how one bystander watched Paul's purchases pile up and finally asked:
"What are you collecting?"
Paul's answer? "Just dust," he replied softly, "just dust."

- For original Beatles fans, 1966 was a strange year. The "Butcher" cover and John's "more popular than Jesus" comment signaled that something was wrong with The Beatles. By 1967, we heard a different voice than Paul's on Penny Lane and we saw a different face in photos. Most of us abandoned Beatle fandom. In 1969, the "Paul is Dead" clues surfaced and were so strong and consistent, that many people wondered if that was the answer to the puzzling changes in Paul's voice and looks. People have been looking into that possibility from 1969-on but have not been able to document what happened to Paul. My generation deserves to know the truths about the group that we loved and made famous. So the search is on . . .
