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.
