  George Harrison was not only a member of the world's greatest rock band but also a successful solo artist. His guitar technique became the centrepiece of classic Beatles albums and his compositions, both for the group and as part of his own successful solo career, became classics in their own right. Marc Shapiro's account adds insight to George's saddest days, when his wife Patti left him for his best friend, Eric Clapton and also aims to capture George's courage in the face of his devastating cancer. The book contains rarely seen photographs and exclusive news interviews.

  Harrison's solo career included the huge hits My Sweet Lord and I've Got My Mind Set on You , and occasionally threatened to eclipse both John and Paul on the world stage. He joined Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne in the massively successful Traveling Wilburys, where his talent brought out the best in the other artists. His parallel career as a film producer - associated most closely with his friends in the Monty Python team - proves that both as a Beatles guitarist and in his multi-faceted career after the group had finished, as well as his often dramatic private life, George Harrison was no ordinary man or musician.

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 succsessful supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. However, the success of his professional life was often met by turmoil in his private life, and the loss of first wife Patti to best friend Eric Clapton, the traumatic attempt on his life by a knife wielding intruder and his final struggle against cancer meant that George Harrison's life was nothing if not dramatic. Bestselling author Marc Shapiro has exclusively interviewed friends and former colleagues of the enigmatic guitar legend. 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 mult-faceted career after the Beatles, George Harrison was no ordinary man.
