From his working-class upbringing in Liverpool to his emergence as the 'quiet Beatle' and his development as a student of Indian music and philosophy, this encylopedia follows his inspiring life: the legendary, groundbreaking 'Concert For Bangla Desh', the composition of classic songs such as 'Something' and 'My Sweet Lord' ; becoming the first ex-Beatle to top both the album and singles charts; his role as a champion of the British film industry with his unique HandMade films; the creation of the supergroup the Travelling Wilbury's and his years as a simple gardener on his beautiful Henley estate, Friar Park. Harrison's life was not without drama, and his efforts to establish himself as a songwriter against the powerful duo of Lennon & McCartney, the loss of his first wife, Patti to his best friend , Eric Clapton, his flirtation with drugs, his struggle against a knife-wielding intruder and his courageous battle against cancer are also detailed.

Here Comes the Sun

"Here Comes the Sun traces George Harrison's early years growing up in an impoverished, post-war Liverpool, the tough apprenticeship he served in the underground clubs of Hamburg and, of course, the rollercoaster ride to fame as a member of the most successful band of all time. But this unique biography also reveals how, having reached the pinnacle of musical superstardom, Harrison became disillusioned by the price and rewards of celebrity and began the spiritual journey that would influence his music and redefine the rest of his life. Drawing on previously unpublished first-hand accounts and fresh anecdotes about other musical greats such as Dylan and Presley, Here Comes the Sun offers an amazing, unprecedented close-up of 'the quiet one', his spiritual awakening and his often underrated contribution to the Beatles' legacy." - back cover.
