George Harrison Biography


1981's "All Those Years Ago," his tribute to John Lennon featuring George Harrison and Ringo Star reached US #2 and UK 13. Following 1982's flop album, Gone Troppo, Harrison took a hiatus from music. He focused on his film production company, Handmade Films, which he started in 1979 with Monty Python's Life of Brian. Some films from the 1980s included Time Bandits, Mona Lisa, and Withnail And I. Harrison released a new album in 1987. Cloud Nine, produced by Jeff Lynne, was a major artistic and commercial comeback. The album reached both the US and UK Top 10. His remake of "Got My Mind Set On You" hit US #1 and UK #2. The following year Harrison formed the Traveling Wilburys with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. Their first album and the singles "Handle With Care" and "End Of The Line" were major hits. In 1991 Harrison toured Japan with Eric Clapton. It was his first tour since 1973. He once again dropped out of music. On December 30, 1999 Harrison made the news when he was stabbed by an intruder to his home. He had also been suffering from throat cancer since the late 1990s. All Things Must Pass was reissued in 2001 with a new recording of "My Sweet Lord." Harrison began work on a new album, but later in 2001 it was announced he was suffering from inoperable brain cancer. Harrison died on November 29, 2001. His final album, Brainwashed, was completed by his son Dhani and Jeff Lynne.
