  (#17) Prince Went Door To Door As A Jehovah's Witness

  It's a well-known fact that Prince was a practicing Jehovah's Witness for decades prior to his passing, but stories of the singer showing up at random homes to preach the good book genuinely sounded made up. Turns out that they weren't.

  In 2008, Prince told The New Yorker, "Sometimes people act surprised, but mostly they're really cool about it." While that's kind of interesting, it turns out people weren't always thrilled with his visit. A woman from Minneapolis named Rochelle describes her experience with Prince knocking on her door as legitimately annoying:

  My first thought is "Cool, cool, cool. He wants to use my house for a set. I’m glad! Demolish the whole thing! Start over!" Then they start in on this Jehovah’s Witnesses stuff. I said, "You know what? You’ve walked into a Jewish household, and this is not something I’m interested in." He says, Can I just finish? Then the other guy, Larry Graham, gets out his little Bible and starts reading scriptures about being Jewish and the land of Israel.

  (#2) Michael Jackson Wrote Music For 'Sonic The Hedgehog 3'

  Many believe that Michael Jackson might be the greatest pop star of all time, and Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. But, what you may not know is that Michael Jackson actually wrote music for the 1993 game Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

  This rumor began with one young man who obsessively poured over MJ music and Sonic the Hedgehog background music, and discovered that they sounded way too similar to be just a coincidence. After years of existing only as an internet rumor, in January 2016, the composers for the soundtrack confirmed that the King of Pop really did write music for the Sega game.

  (#9) Steven Tyler Adopted A Girl So He Could Date Her

  Steven Tyler was known for having relationships with some of the most beautiful women of the day, but one of his most substantial relationships arose from much different beginnings. In 1975, Tyler gained custody of a 16-year-old groupie signed over to him from her mother reportedly so she could travel over state lines with him while he was on tour.

  They were together for three years, during which time she drank, used controlled substances, and remained his girlfriend. They split when she was 18, partly due to the strain that an abortion put on their relationship.
