After George Harrison’s death on 29 November 2001, his son, Dhani Harrison, in collaboration with Jeff Lynne, completed George’s final album, Brainwashed, which was released in 2002. He participated in the Concert for George on the first anniversary of his father’s death. The concert was organized by Eric Clapton and featured some of George’s friends and collaborators, including Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney. Dhani Harrison played backup acoustic guitar for most of the concert.
So uncanny is his resemblance to his dead father, that, during the show, a stunned McCartney turned to Dhani and told him, “You look more like George Harrison than George Harrison looked like George Harrison.”
Then later, just before the finale, McCartney relayed to the audience, “Olivia [George’s widow] said that with Dhani up on stage, it looks like George stayed young…and we all got old.”

About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
