What Was George Harrison’s Last Words? When Did George Harrison Pass Away?

George Harrison’s final message to the world, as relayed in a statement by Olivia and Dhani, was: “Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another.”

The English musician, and film producer, died on 29 November 2001.

Harrison achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. Sometimes called “the quiet Beatle”, Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in the Beatles’ work.

Although the majority of the band’s songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, most Beatles albums from 1965 onwards contained at least two Harrison compositions.

His songs for the group include “Taxman”, “Within You Without You”, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something”.

Harrison also released several best-selling singles as a solo performer.

Harrison died two years after surviving a knife attack by an intruder at his Friar Park home.

Harrison was cremated at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and his funeral was held at the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, California.

His close family scattered his ashes according to Hindu tradition in a private ceremony in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers near Varanasi, India.

He died leaving almost £100 million in his will.
