Only two members of The Beatles are still alive, with John Lennon having been killed 40 years ago today and George Harrison dying in 2001. But now The Quiet Beatle’s estate, owned by wife and son Olivia and Dhani Harrison, has paid tribute to John on his behalf. A photograph of John taken by George has been shared on the official George Harrison social media pages with a touching message.
The message read: “You were the one who had made it so clear. All those years ago.
“You point the way to the truth when you say. All you need is love.
“You were the one who imagined it all. All those years ago.”
Beatles fans will know these are lyrics taken from George solo track All Those Years Ago from his album Somewhere in England.
