George Harrison : Behind the locked door

As a Beatle, Harrison underwent a bewilderingly compressed early adulthood, buffeted by unprecedented levels of fame and success. After Beatlemania left him unsettled and unfulfilled, his became a quest for deeper meaning which travelled far beyond the parameters of his former band and indeed music itself. This elegant, in-depth biography tracks him assiduously through his many changes and conflicts, from schoolboy guitarist to global superstar, God seeker to independent film-maker, Formula One enthusiast to UNICEF Fundraiser, and marks the perennial struggle of a man attempting to walk a spiritual path lined with temptation. Drawing on scores of interviews with close friends and collaborators, rigorous research and critical insight, George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door is an intimate character study, illustrating the eternal yin and yang of Harrisons nature; the definitive account of a compelling, contradictory life.
