Rock stars, comedians and classical musicians took the stage at the stagel in perfect harmony, united by one thing: a love for their friend George Harrison whose earthly life came to an end exactly one year before. Through anecdotes, dedications, and hundreds of rare photographs, this book reveals story of George Harrison, from his early days right through to the tribute concert that celebrated his life, told by the people that love him.
