On November 29, 2001, George Harrison died of lung cancer at the age of 58. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered on the River Yamuna in India. How appropriate! George had been struggling in his battle for cancer for a while and the fact that he was stabbed in the chest a year earlier didn't help all that much. His wife Olivia and his son Dhani have held several concerts in honor of him and recently they attended the ceremony that went along with getting a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. His guitar playing and music will forever be remembered and people generations to come will discover one of the 60's guitar gods. Although he did work after 1970, he will always claim the title as the Quiet Beatle. Next year, it will be ten years since he succumbed. I'll add more pictures of him soon.
