The Concert for George brought together some of the world’s finest performers for an unprecedented night of celebration. Rock stars, comedians and classical musicians took the stage at the The Royal Albert Hall 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.

This beautifully produced official limited edition book is the 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.

Authors Olivia Harrison and Brian Roylance with contributions by Ringo Starr, Ravi Shankar and many others. Illustrated with hundreds of rare pictures of George Harrison throughout his life, and of Eric Clapton in the concert with Paul McCartney and many of George’s other friends.
