George Harrison remembered final time he saw John Lennon alive - 'He surprised me'

Former members of The Beatles, George Harrison and John Lennon had not seen one another for years by the time the 1970s came around. The band had split up in 1970 and each of the Fab Four went their separate ways. All four members started their own solo careers and spent some much-needed time apart.

Lennon and Harrison were particularly bitter with one another during their final years as a band.

During the recording of The Beatles' final album, Let It Be, Harrison famously announced: "I think I'll be leaving the band now."

The shocking moment came after The Quiet Beatle grew frustrated over Lennon and Paul McCartney controlling the musical direction of the band. This event was also revisited during the recently-released Disney Plus series Get Back by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
