George Harrison: 'The Beatles were NOT allowed to be men, we were the boys for so long'
They were the original boyband, but The Beatles were not allowed to be men, revealed George Harrison to Billy Connolly before he died in 2001. The 77-year-old comedian reminisced of his friendship with The Beatles on The Adam Buxton Podcast last week, sharing an amusing case of mistaken identity when Harrison was thought to be a retired Manchester United footballer.
Connolly said he never met John Lennon, but admitted: “I’m friendly with all the other Beatles.
“I like George Harrison. He’s not my favourite, none of them is my favourite. I treasure my friendship with them.
“George was a lovely man. I spent a lot of time with him. A lot more than the other ones.
“I remember we went for Chinese food in the East End of London and a waiter came out and served us.”
