the Death Of George Harrison

On this day in 2001, the Beatles lost another beloved member to cancer. He had been battling a primitive neuroectodermal tumor in his brain, an illness for which there was no cure. We lost not only a gifted guitarist and remarkable songwriter, but also a cherished friend to so many. His influence on music will never fade, and he will always be remembered for the countless ways he helped shape the sound of modern music.
