George Harrison (25 February, 1943 - 29 November, 2001) was an English rock musician and songwriter, most famous for being a member of The Beatles.
With The Beatles, Harrison's primary role was lead guitarist; however, he also wrote several Beatles songs, singing lead vocal on every one of them. Harrison also sang lead on several other songs, including "Do You Want to Know a Secret".
After the Beatles broke up, Harrison went on to a successful solo music career, achieving a number one hit with "My Sweet Lord". He later also became a record and film producer.
On The Simpsons, Harrison appeared as himself in the episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet". During filming, Harrison was said to be rather friendly and humble to the cast, but was rather disinterested to answer questions from the cast about the Beatles. However, when Matt Groening asked questions about one of Harrison’s solo album, the Wonderwall Music, Harrison was happy to answer those questions.
Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001, aged 58, after a long two-year battle after being diagnosed in May of 2001.
