Monday marked the 20th anniversary of the day George Harrison died from cancer.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr , the two surviving members of the Beatles, honored the day with social media tributes, as did Harrison’s widow, Olivia .
McCartney posted a photo of himself and Harrison in the studio with the caption, “Hard to believe that we lost George 20 years ago. I miss my friend so much. Love Paul.”
Starr posted a photo of himself and Harrison smoking stogies and wrote, “Peace and love to you George I miss you man. Peace and love Ringo. ”
Harrison’s widow’s tribute was a psychedelic-styled post that featured a snippet of “Within You, Without You,” his Indian-inspired contribution to the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album.
The anniversary of Harrison’s death comes just days after the premiere on Disney+ of “The Beatles: Get Back,” Peter Jackson’s three-part documentary that shows the Fab Four recording the “Let It Be” album.
