The Beatles: Murder fears made George Harrison announce he 'wasn't a Beatle anymore'
THE BEATLES star George Harrison became extremely nervous about being in public during the band's final few years together. Eventually, it got so bad he was having regular worries about being shot. Soon thereafter, he announced he had quit the band. Hauntingly, this was the exact method of how his bandmate, John Lennon, was murdered.
Harrison, who was the youngest member of the band, was known as the Quiet Beatle because he was less outspoken than the rest of the group.
This didn't mean he didn't stand up for himself in the Fab Four, but he was less likely to make flippant comments to the press - much like John Lennon did in the Philippines. While on tour in the country, Lennon announced that The Beatles were "bigger than Jesus". This controversial statement enraged Christians around the world.
David Acomba, who filmed Harrison's 1974 solo tour, explained this incident was the beginning of the star's fears.
