The Beatles nearly sacked George Harrison, according to unearthed recordings
The Beatles nearly SACKED George Harrison and lined up Eric Clapton to replace him, unearthed recordings from January 1969 reveal.
The title of The Beatles’ final album Let It Be suggested serenity and acceptance. But newly unearthed recordings from January 1969 prove that the Fab Four’s swansong followed more of a Long and Winding Road.
In fact the incendiary clips tell how John Lennon threatened to replace George Harrison with Eric Clapton when he temporarily quit the band.
The sudden departure of Harrison –who felt that his songs didn’t get as much attention as those of Lennon and Paul McCartney – worried McCartney and Ringo Starr. But Lennon, while sympathetic, was practical.
