As a Beatle, Harrison underwent a bewilderingly compressed early adulthood, buffeted by unprecedented levels of fame and success. After Beatlemania left him unsettled and unfulfilled, his became a quest for deeper meaning which travelled far beyond the parameters of his former band and indeed music itself.This elegant, in-depth biography tracks him assiduously through his many changes and conflicts, from schoolboy guitarist to global superstar, God seeker to independent film-maker, Formula One enthusiast to UNICEF Fundraiser, and marks the perennial struggle of a man attempting to walk a spiritual path lined with temptation.Drawing on scores of interviews with close friends and collaborators, rigorous research and critical insight, George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door is an intimate character study, illustrating the eternal yin and yang of Harrison’s nature; the definitive account of a compelling, contradictory life.Graeme Thomson has written widely on music regularly contributing to TheGuardian, Uncut, the Herald and The Arts Desk and is the author of several books. His book Under the Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush was described by The Irish Times as "the best music biography in perhaps the past decade" and by Mojo as "superb".
