Description
Often overlooked as a songwriter, despite introducing Indian music to the western ears and penning The Beatles' standards Here Comes The Sun and Something, George Harrison embraced fame reluctantly. Almost as famous for his religious beliefs, drug use and film funding as for his music, he retired from public life following the assassination of John Lennon. A spectacular late-1980s comeback, as both solo artist and Traveling Wilbury, returned him as a household name for a new generation, a position maintained by working with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on The Beatles' Anthology projects and 2000's best-selling 1 compilation.
Fully updated to include George's near-fatal stabbing by a crazed fan, some 19 years after Lennon's death, and his recent unsuccessful battle with cancer, George Harrison remains the definitive study of this most reserved and genuine talent.
