George Harrison's widow said the former Beatle never lost touch with his Liverpool roots.
Olivia Harrison discussed her new poetry book Came the Lightening at the University of Liverpool’s new Tung Auditorium at the Yoko Ono-Lennon Centre. Olivia’s collection of poems centres around the theme of grief after George’s death in 2001.
She initially began writing in 2018 or 2019 but decided to release a collection of poems in 2021 on the 20th anniversary of George’s death from lung cancer. When asked about why she decided to dedicate the poems to George, she said: "You know him through his songs, those are very intimate. I wanted to write from the core. I wanted people to know the subtleties of George."
