George Harrison
Een onthullende biografie over de mysterieuze Beatle George Harrison wordt nog altijd beschouwd als een van de beste gitaristen van zijn tijd. Toch voelde hij zich bij The Beatles, dienstbaar als hij was aan John Lennon en Paul McCartney, het vijfde wiel aan de wagen. Een maand nadat de Fab Four in april 1970 uit elkaar gingen, begon Harrison aan de opnames van zijn fenomenale album 'All Things Must Pass'. Toch had hij bij The Beatles ook al ruimschoots zijn sporen verdiend met iconische nummers als ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’, ‘Here Comes the Sun’ en ‘Something’. Harrison was een man van tegenstellingen. Hij zwoer het materialisme af, én schreef het nummer ‘Taxman’. Hij kon vreselijk jaloers zijn, maar bleef goede vrienden met Eric Clapton toen die er met Harrisons grote liefde Pattie Boyd vandoor ging. Philip Norman volgde Harrison decennialang en sprak met talloze mensen uit zijn directe omgeving. Het resultaat is een meesterlijke biografie, waarin we George Harrison leren kennen zoals hij was: een van de meest intrigerende artiesten van zijn tijd.
