This is the regular 52 page daily issue of this newspaper from George Harrison's hometown, the edition as sold on the streets of Liverpool the morning after his death. The ftpg. features a recent photo of Harrison with the headline: "BEATLE GEORGE IS DEAD" and various subheads (see photos). There are several reports and additional photos on the inside pages (see images). Great to have this significant report in a Liverpool newspaper. In near mint condition, and the tabloid size makes it nice for framing & display.
AI notes: George Harrison, the iconic lead guitarist of The Beatles, died on November 29, 2001, at his Los Angeles home at the age of 58 after a long battle with lung cancer, which had followed earlier treatment for throat cancer in the late 1990s. He had largely retreated from the public eye in his later years, focusing on his family, spiritual pursuits, and occasional music projects, including his 2001 “Concert for George” tribute organized by friends and former bandmates. Harrison’s death prompted an outpouring of grief worldwide, with tributes highlighting his innovative guitar work, his incorporation of Indian music into Western pop, and his introspective songwriting, including hits like “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun.” His funeral was a private family affair, held at the Fairview Cemetery in England, reflecting his desire for a quiet farewell, yet his influence and legacy continue to resonate in music, film, and spiritual communities around the globe.
