George Harrison: The Beatles star's HEARTBREAKING words to his wife before he died

The Beatles star’s wife, who has son Dhani with the late musician, explained how she still felt “in communication” with him, saying: “Because you feel so deeply in your heart that if you say a prayer, it goes straight to them.”

George died of lung cancer on November 29, 2001, at the age of 58, having first been diagnosed in 1997.

In May 2001, he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous growth from one of his lungs and, in July, received radiotherapy for a brain tumour.

When he was told treatments could no longer help, George opted not to die in hospital, travelling to Los Angeles, where he passed away at the home rented, at the time, by his Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney.
