The latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, #1139, which hits the stands today, features a cover story on George Harrison that looks at him as a member of the Beatles and his life away from the stage.
The eight-page story by Brian Hiatt, tied to the Martin Scorsese film "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" which premieres this fall on HBO, features several unseen rare early pictures, including a young George visiting a racetrack in 1955, puffing a cigarette in 1960 and at the Empire State Building during his 1963 pre-fame visit to the United States. Another image, taken in Tahiti in 1964, is almost a current image of his son Dhani and points out how much the two resemble each other.
It also includes comments from family and friends, including George's widow Olivia, his son Dhani, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, his first wife Pattie Boyd and Ravi Shankar. The anticipation for "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" can only get stronger after seeing this story.
