Shrouded in a self-created fog of mystery, the elusive George Harrison was always the most private and enigmatic member of the Beatles. From his hard-knock childhood in Liverpool to his ascendance to the highest pinnacles of rock 'n' roll's hall of fame, his life was a rollercoaster ride filled with legendary success and heart-crushing defeat.
As part of the biggest band in history, Harrison always took a back seat to Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Central to his story is his lifelong search for tranquillity and understanding, which is thrown into sharp contrast by the controversial events in his life: the final split of the Beatles; the ever changing relationship between himself, his first wife, Pattie, and his best friend, Eric Clapton; and the traumatic attempt on his life.
His parallel career as a film producer - associated most closely with 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.
