The documentary, about the Fab Four guitarist who died in 2001 aged 58, will be released in UK cinemas for one night only on Tuesday before being aired by the BBC public broadcaster in November. Scorsese traces the life of Harrison from his musical beginnings in Liverpool, his meteoric rise to fame with the Beatles and his search from an early age for spiritual fulfilment. “We had lots of material things at quite an early age and we learned that wasn't it, we still lacked something,” Harrison said when he was 22. Scorsese had access to publicly unseen footage from Harrison's childhood and interviewed Starr, McCartney, John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and Harrison's widow Olivia among others. “George, to me, was taking certain elements of R & B and rock and rockabilly and creating something unique,” fellow guitarist Eric Clapton said.
