En savoir plus sur le livre

George Harrison was always known as the 'quiet Beatle.' As part of the biggest band in pop history, he took a back seat to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but his talent shone through in the composition of classic songs such as 'Something' and 'Here Comes The Sun.' In his solo career, he occasionally threatened to eclipse both John and Paul on the world stage, and he joined forces with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne to create the massively successful supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. However, the success of his professional life was often met by turmoil in his private life, including the loss of his first wife Patti to best friend Eric Clapton, a traumatic attempt on his life by a knife-wielding intruder, and his final struggle against cancer. This revealing biography reaffirms Harrison's importance as an innovative and hugely talented musician and shows that, as a member of the most important band ever, as well as in his multi-faceted career after the Beatles, George Harrison was no ordinary man.
