Originally, The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton were given dialogue in "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1978). However, since Frampton had a British accent and The Bee Gees were Australian, their accents were not in line with a movie taking place in middle America, it was decided that they would do away with all dialogue, and use George Burns' role as narrator to supply the dialogue for all the characters.
Frampton wanted to get on the trampoline during "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." It wasn't allowed because he wasn't insured.
During the filming of Strawberry Fields' funeral, Frampton forced himself to cry by thinking of the then-recent Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash that claimed the lives of several friends and associates.
The shooting script called for Frampton's character to kill Steven Tyler's. When it came time to film this scene, Aerosmith threatened to walk out. "There's no f*cking way that Steven is gonna get directly offed by Frampton," commented Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. "It's gotta be an accident, the way it was in the original script we f*cking agreed to." They finally agreed to a compromise, with Sandy Farina's character Strawberry Fields accidentally pushing Tyler's character to his death. (IMDb)
Happy Birthday, Peter Frampton!

MORE THE HALF A MILLION VOTES !!✌❤
...“It’s something I never expected,” Frampton told Rolling Stone. “Because I was eligible so long ago, I kind of put it into the back of my mind.
“The thing that blew me away the most was not actually getting in – even though that is a phenomenal, unbelievable thing. It’s the amount of people who voted for me (in the fan vote). You don’t quite understand where you’re at until you look at the amount of people who voted for you. Those are the people I need to thank the most. That was a real wonderful shock,” he added."
