It is such a sad day,Nov. 30 that George has passed on. Especially sad for his wife and his son. George has given so much music and happiness to this world. I hope that his journey to the everlasting is peaceful and that he gets to see John again. Age 58 is so young but it is not for us to decide. We will greatly miss him. Only 2 Beatles left...I hope that Paul and Ringo will get together to do a musical tribute to both of their passed colleagues. "All You Need Is Love".......rest in peace.

I'm sure you'll hear throughout the day, but just in case you check e-mail first, you should know that George passed away last night. I woke up to get ready for work and turned on the news. I'm impressed that they could pull away from the current world events long enough to comment about George. I wonder if they'll start using All Things Must Pass as thier big headline. Anyway, take care today.

I am very sorry! I am searching for a good picture of George... I am really shocked about his death... A Fan

Hi Eva,
Just wanted to talk to a fellow fan, who understands what it is like losing George. Obviously our thoughts & prayers are with Olivia & Dhani & others who love him. I am particularly thinking of Ringo, who always seemed the closest to him, out of the Beatles. I know that George is at peace now, but he will be sadly missed by all of us who grew up with him. He was like John a great man, a peaceful man & will always be remembered with love & affection. I've been a Beatles fan since about 8 years old & I am now 47; I have nearly all of his albums & of course The Beatles. He was a superb musician & lets not forget the contribution he made to British films with "Handmade Films" & his humanitarian work. God Bless & keep you, George. Hope you don't mind me writing. love from Twickenham. United Kingdom.

Hello.Is there anyway of sending George's family a message? I can't find his web site,I hope he is alot happyer and out of pain.My Daddy had cancer and,he didn't have it as bad as George,but he was still in pain.I just want to let the family know I care and am so sorry.We lost a sweet soul.

I just found your web site, as this day came and, the music died as another generation knew it. Very nice job, the memories will always be sweet!

Bye Bye George
Love

Hi,
Nice tribute to George Harrison. The Beatles have always been my favorite band. Even when individual members went solo, they still continued to be high on my list, especially George Harrison. He had extraordinary talent and as pop music comes and goes, I can always remember George's music. Two of his songs which were my favourite were My Sweet Lord and My guitar Gently Weeps. There will never be another musician like him. He truly left his mark.

I have no idea who I'm writing to, But, I'm just so sad and I would like to send a card to the Family and I have no idea who to send it to. He was a GREAT man... I'm just a fan who will always mourn his passing , so young, robbed as far as I'm concerned, But, then again , Who am I to say that. Thanks.

So sorry about george..I photographed him along with the other beatles in the 60s. at least he will sleep in peace.. kindest regards and thoughts

I needed a place to see George and I found yours its nice. Thank you.

Just a little thing to remember George:
There goes the sun,
There goes the sun, and I say, its not right.
Little Darling, it's going to be a long cold lonley winter,
Little Darling, it's seems minutes since he's been here.
There goes the sun, there goes the sun, and I say, its not right.
Little Darling, the frowns are appearing on the faces,
Little Darling, it seems like minutes since he's been here.
There goes the sun, there goes the sun, and I say, its not right.
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Goodbye Sun, there it goes,
Little Darling, I feel like my heart is slowly breaking,
Little Darling, it semms like minutes since hes been here
There goes the sun, there goes the sun, and I say, its not right.
There goes the sun, there goes the sun, and I say, its not right,
Its not right.
Thank you.

So Sorry to hear the news today. His music and Spirit live on.

hi.
i have been in a slump all day. i am only 24 years old but i am a huge fan of the beatles. i have been for a long time. my dad made me a tape when i was young and simply said 'listen to it' that is what he did when he wanted me to experience musicians he enjoyed, i still have the tape. i have gone to several websites today dedicated to george but no one who maintains these sites have bothered to update it, today of all days. i emailed the lyrics to 'here comes the sun' to everyone i know today as my own tribute. it is such a beautiful song. i have found some peace now. thank you for your site.

I am very sad that we have lost another one of our most talented musicians. He will be saddly missed. Goodbye George.

Hi there, I visited your site this morning. I'm sure you are heartbroken, as am I. I was a young teenager when Haight-Ashbury and the word "FAB" came about. I remember the night on Ed Sullivan as a very special time in history. My Dad was freaking out over the long hair. Myself, oh my God, the Beach Boys had just been replaced. Well, I could go on and on. Mr. Harrison is where he always knew he was headed, and it's not a secret to him any more. I hope to meet him someday.

We fondly miss George Harrison
Link together, link now, over you,
Link together,
Link now, over you.
Oh Please, say to me,
I didn't stay up all night.
Oh please, say to me, our love is worth the fight.
I know I work all day, because you make it ri-i-ight.
Ooh I need your love babe you know I know it's true, ain't got nothing to hide babe, eight days a week.
My Sweet George Halleluuiah,
My Sweet George,
We Ha-ard-ly knew Ya.
Imagine all the people
Living because we're free,
You might say I'm a dreamer,
But that's before we linked to you
You say you want a revolution, and so we changed the wo-o-o-orld,
You say you want a revolution, what do we do with all the fo-o-o-ols?
Since he's been gone I want noone to talk to me
Please go away, leave me alone, don't bother me.
Don't bother me right now,
Just link to me.
Just link to me.

Hi I am a rare record dealer I have decided to place all the George Harrison items that I have on Ebay I feel that I should give a portion of the sales to charity My question then is which charity? The obvious answer would be to a charity supported by George Could you help me there? Many thanks

Although the soul of the beatles has died his music will on... and i will sit down in the streets of Hamburg, Germany now and play his songs. Good Bye

Would you agree with me that Stu Sutcliff was actually the 1st Beatle to die followed by John then George. I'm on a crusade. I love to tell people that Stu Sutcliff is my favorite Beatle. I'm trying hard to not let people forget the people that died in Pennsylvania on 11 September, 2001.

I am very sad...................... GEORGE: HE IS THE BEST!!!

I think, John and George play now together their wonderful songs in haeven for us

A Fan of Beatles from Germany

I like your George Harrison page.
     I am 43 years old and as I have aged I have come to realize and accept numerous things. One of them is that I am glad I have lived in the era of the Beatles, Stones, Peter Gabriel, Elton John, etc.
     One of the most beautiful, downright stunning songs I have EVER heard is from George Harrison. It is "Beware of Darkness". At least once a year I pull out the "All Things Must Pass" CD out and play that song. I feel so meditative and emotional when hear it! Then, of course, I have to play it several more times, usually in consecutive sequence. Then I move on to other masterpieces like....Run of the Mill, Apple Scruffs, and the Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp. And these songs aren't the blockbusters that everyone talks about!
     My memories of George are long, varied and colorful as my first exposure to the Beatles came when I was about 8 years old!
     God Bless you, George! May you rest in peace!
     I hope that as we think of George, we remember these words... "Beware of sadness
It can hit you It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for"

Thanks George for make my youth times happyest I will found you on heaven .

Hey there

I don't really know what to say....but I know that I needed to write something somewhere to express my sorrow for George's passing. He has meant so much to me and to legions of fans. This is truly a sorrowful occasion. My regards to his family and to Paul and Ringo. May he rest in peace with John......you two will enlighten and entertain for eternity.... All the best George....the world is a better place having known you!!!

It's the end of something. Something in the way he moved us. Hari Krishna. I hope for something to come along for the world that will give to you what the Beatles gave to us. It was priceless and not measurable in any way. Love, Peace and all that stuff that people laugh at now. All except George...........my heart is broken with yours.

Excellent site for George! I'm sure it helps others as it did myself, as we grieve his passing.

Hi,
We were looking for somewhere to pay our respects to George and your site really impressed us at this sad time.
We never knew George Harrison, but we knew his music,
We never spoke to George, but he spoke to us in song.
The world has lost another wonderful soul, but he gave the world so much of himself.
We'd like to give our condolences to his family, his friends, and all his fans around the world. George Harrison was truly a great man. The world won't be the same without you George.
May you be in peace.
Australia

george harrison a loving and magical spirit freed into the winds of the beyond........[from] his musical fans

Thanks for a great site to GEORGE. He will be greatly missed by me and my wife. We both have been fans of the Beatles since their beginning in Liverpool. My guitar gently weeps for his family and friends. Every time we see a sunrise we will remember Here Comes The Sun. May you rest in peace George. Thanks for the memories. Two fans in Virginia.

the world has lost a great teacher

Hello, I just wanted to say that I thought perhaps George now makes music with John again, where ever they are now. I can hardly believe it, so whenever it comes to my mind again I start crying. I hoped that it all wasn't true until the end. It's good to know that so many people think of him.

You knew him well also. I'm 47 and was ten when the Beatles came over. I loved all four of them and George will be missed by me! I loved his wit, not many new he was funny but I did. He was a gentle man, always willing to help. Well, now he's making beautiful music with John. God bless you George, God bless you both.

When I heard the news last friday, I ran to my mother and told her the sad news. Oh, my sweet Lord, she said. She is 49, so she grew up with the Beatles. She gave me (20) the love for music generally and the Beatles especially. So we are both shocked. I know George has always been a good man, and he will have a good afterlife. Requiescas in pace, George. (Holland)

A very magical soul - there will never be another one like him. One of a kind - he will be sadly missed - his music will live on forever. Strawberry feilds forever is a very soulful song as is many of his songs - that's how I like to remember him by his wonderful music, being happy, and joking to the end of his days. Smile for him - he would want us to do that

I grieve with you as do all of us. He was a dear man and a brilliant musician. He was the solid musical foundation for the Beatles . His soaring guitar riffs lifted me into the clouds. His wonderful music will live and I will miss him knowing that I shared this world with a man as wonderful as he. God bless you. Rest In Peace and say hello to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your words and website about George Harrison. Part of my sadness about his death is anger from feeling that he not so much died but was in a way, killed. Cigarettes killed George Harrison. It is an awful truth, yet ignored in reporting, conversation and consciousness. Why? Your railing against cancer while not even mentioning the disease's cause seemed odd. I guess I am just frustrated by the seemingly general silence as the the true cause of George's sad and far too premature demise. I am afraid we will miss a huge opportunity perhaps literally to save the lives of very many current and future cigarette smokers. Again, thanks for your tribute to George.

My mother raised me on the Baatles because they were once a favorite of hers. I am now 14 and I will be 15 on February 25, the same day George Harrison would be 59. I spent November 29 in tears because I felt like I had lost a best friend. My dream is to one day meet one of the Beatles. My chances are slimming as the years go by. I have the Red, White and Blue albums and the Beatles 1, but it irritates me that I can't find some of the Beatle songs on the Internet to download for a presentation I am dedicating to George Harrison, John Lennon, and the remaining Beatles members, Paul and Ringo. Can you help me? God Bless You, for keeping their memory strong for generations to come like me. A teary eyed Beatle fan

George was my favourite "Fab" from 1979, when I was 13-year old boy and I heard The Beatles for the first time. I loved him like a musician and a man. Hare George, hare forever. Czech Republic

The past few days have been extremely difficult for Beatles fans everywhere. While not exactly unexpected, the death of George Harrison is a very permanent reality that many of us find hard to accept. Like George said, All Things Must Pass, but that doesn't necessarily make it any easier. Many fans are leaving their thoughts and memories on our discussion forum. Please follow the link below to add your own words: http://www.beatlelinks.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi

Dear all:
Sorry because my english is not good. I love George, and at first I was very very sad when I read the terrible news in my e- mail. The last year I lost a good friend in similar circunstances. She only was twenty five years old. Now I think they are in the best place af all, that they were (and are) very special people. They´ll always be in our hearts and memory. All the people go never go, really: "All WE have to do is think of them". So now I´not so sad. When I look to the sky, when I listen George´s music I feel a little better.. I only pray them for all of us in these caotic times, and the notes of "Give me love" sound in my soul. (Spain)

I'm from Argentina. I feel as you about George's death, it's so hard to express and I find my feelings in your words. Thank you very much for your page. I really like to visit it. Regards

When loved ones die, I think we are reminded of our own mortality and impermanence in this world. When George passed away, I was sad but at the same time I felt his passing was a reminder of our immortality. I am so impressed with this man who dedicated himself to his Lord and thereby enlightening and encouraging others. I feel, without a doubt, that wherever he is, he is filled with more love and happiness than he ever could have found on this Earth planet. So in one sense, I'm not grieving so much. I'm just simply amazed that one gentle soul was able to influence so many people in a positive way. I love you, George, and I hope to see you and our sweet Lord face to face in the future (I've got some kids to raise, so let's make that the far future). I also have faith that you are able to feel and hear every prayer and our words of appreciation. Thanks for all your help, and please tell me, is Krsna as beautiful as they say He is? Hari Bol!

I personly am sorry for my mis spellings
He left the way he stayed, a quit man who made an impact on this world like a moutain that is always known for being in the background and is not trully apresheated or notice untill it is gone. I found out the the living legend [George Harrison] was no longer alive stragly the way I discover all sad news. I was informed at 2:00 am on a school night that following night I pick up my fathers gutar and played his only number one hit with the Beatles song "Something" probly 15 times over and over and though I had played the many time before, it felt that I was going to cry but then I relised that his song were insperational in his life and should stay in his death. I am 16 years onl and one of the Beatles songs I fell inloved with was Something. When I grow older and I have kids of my own I will show them the greatness that was KNOW AS GEORGE HARRISON.
Thank you for allowing me this oppertunity to express myself

Hello, I am truly touched by your website. I wasn't even born when "All Things Must Pass" was released or when the Beatles went on their separate ways but through the past few years I've come to love George's music and am an avid fan and guitar player of his and the Beatles music. I was wondering if you could clarify this for me, a few days after his passing the "NY Post" stated that there may be about 25-30 songs that George had recorded a few months before and leading up to his death and was to planning to release a new CD. I was wondering if you've heard anything along those lines? I think that your statement about how your guitar gently weeps epitomizes all of our emotions and if I may just add this to it, "George was a true spirit, often in the shadows of the 2 greatest songwriters of all time but with the passage of time he learned from them and produced some of the most beautiful songs and music of all time whilst carving out his own niche and earning the respect of John and Paul, he was truly "Something" and let's thank our blessings for being able to be a part of that and being here in time and this lifetime to experience his music." Thanks again and "Hare Krishna."

At this time it is difficult to be optimistic, especially after all the terrible events occurred in our world. I did receive that message from Rosa A. two days after the attack to the Twin Towers. I was then too shocked to be able to reply. Here in Buenos Aires (Argentina), we had two terrorist attacks, one in March 1992 and the second one on July 1994, so we know damn well what it feels like. Then, George's death added another bitter ingredient. "Isn't it a pity" he had to suffer that much? Yet, my only consolation is that he is free now. His existence has been that of an "Angel on Earth". If you ever had a chance to contact Olivia and Dhani Harrison, I would like to extend the admiration I feel for George to them, since they have been blessed with the privilege of being the wife and son of a talented, wise and generous man. I believe they have the tremendous responsibility of continuing the wonderful mission started by George. We are here in Argentina having an awful socio-economic crisis, yet, in the middle of so much misery, I feel a great deal of relief when I think of George and listen to his music. I wish you all a good beginning for 2002.

I'll miss George. I think we all will. But, all things must pass. George died with great dignity, peace, and humor, from what I can gather, and I think we should be glad that he finally got where he wanted to be for so long. Bye George. Tell John we said hi.

Today it is with great sadness that we learned of George's passing away after a long battle with illness. We offer our deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones as well as his many fans around the world.

Elliot Huntley has followed George's progress as a dedicated fan for most of his life and he said he feels the loss as much as any close friend. A sad day for us all.

You will be sadly missed George, you will live on in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace. J. Flynn - webmaster@midi-ebooks.com

Just dropping you a line to tell you about a new George Harrison biography that can be bought on-line from midi-ebooks at the addresses below.

I was hoping you could mention this exciting new publication in your excellent website.

The book is called 'GEORGE HARRISON - BEHIND THAT LOCKED DOOR' by British television writer Elliot J Huntley. Since it is an e-book, there will be monthly updates.

PRESS RELEASE: This biography covers the years 1969 to the present day and celebrates George Harrison's career as both a musician and independent film producer. Behind That Locked Door focuses on the music found in the nine solo albums Harrison has released since 1970, his sporadic tours and live appearances, his work with The Traveling Wilburys and the fascinating catalogue of unreleased songs lying in his vaults. The book also delves in detail into the personal life of the least written about Beatle, covering such fascinating episodes as the high profile break-up of his marriage to Pattie Boyd and the My Sweet Lord plagiarism case, the reformation of The Beatles and his battles with cancer, plus the traumatic events of 1999 that saw him nearly killed by a mad intruder into his Oxfordshire home. Behind That Locked Door is the very first in-depth critique of George Harrisons's solo career since the break-up of The Beatles. Buy this amazing book now at http://MIDI-eBooks.com

A few musicians and songwriters here in the UK are remembering George with a special tribute single called 'Dark Horse'. It will be released in the UK at the end of March. All profits from the record will be donated to a major Lung Cancer Research Foundation. Check out www.thatllbetheday.com/darkhorse for details.

Dear George,
Thank you for your music. The album "Concert for Bangladesh" is still my favorite for all time. So much of the music was about God and his love. You longed to see HIM then, and now you know HIM!
God Bless you and your family.

August 21, 2003

My guitar is weeping gently in the corner of my office as it waits for me to play it. George's long battle with cancer is over; and, finally, he is free from pain. At fifty-eight, he was only three years older than I am.

During this month (November, 2001), I received many requests (from all over the world) for information about George's health. I scoured the newspapers and the Web for some clues to what was going on. But George was a private person and did not like to be in the limelight. I could find nothing that people did not already know.

People wrote about strange new cures.

People mentioned teas and herbs that could possibly help.

People told me about the curing powers of prayer.

In the end, though, it was time for him to go. And while we all recognize that his suffering is over, ours has just begun. Once more we have been reminded of our mortality -- that none of us will live forever. George's passing brings to focus once more the urgency to find a cure for this terrible killer that does not discriminate between race, religion, sexual orientation, personal success and financial status. It does not care whether a person is famous or not. It tortures and kills without feeling and takes away from us those we love the most.
