When I was about 8 (9 years ago), i used to think on 'stars in their eyes' that the impersonator went through the smoke and then, straight away, the real star would come out and sing.
It didn't even click when 'Elvis' performed.
And, until I was 14, I thought Led Zeppelin was just one person, like Van Morrison.
