History

Harrison had begun recording the tracks that would eventually see issue on Brainwashed as early as 1988 (with "Any Road" being written by Harrison during the making of a video for This Is Love off the Cloud Nine album) and would continue to do so in a sporadic manner over the next decade and a half. " Any Road " is a song by George Harrison and is the opening track to his posthumous Album Brainwashed. Cloud Nine is the successful 1987 comeback Album by George Harrison, recorded and released after a five year hiatus from his recording career After recuperating from his December 30, 1999 knife attack in his home by Michael Abram, Harrison focused more on getting his album finished, simultaneously sharing his ideas for all its details (from the sound of the finished songs to the album's artwork) with his son Dhani — information that would ultimately prove very valuable. Events 1460 - Wars of the Roses: Battle of Wakefield. 1816 - The Treaty of St Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Dhani Harrison (born August 1, 1978) is an English musician and the son of George Harrison of The Beatles.

Harrison's brief plight with lung cancer in 1997 returned with full force in 2001. Lung cancer is a Disease of uncontrolled Cell growth in tissues of the Lung. Once he realized it was an irreversible situation, he worked further on the album's songs—in conjunction with Dhani and his old collaborator Jeff Lynne—until he was unable to do more. Jeffrey Lynne (born 30 December 1947 in Shard End, Birmingham) is a Grammy Award -winning English rock Songwriter Harrison's final work on the album was done at a recording studio in Switzerland shortly before his trip to the United States for cancer treatment.

After a few months away from the project, both the younger Harrison and Lynne returned to working on George's final songs and adding the appropriate instruments—as per their composer's specifications—to the recordings. So close to completion was the project that the two used the exact timetable and session bookings which George had booked himself. After some difficult but rewarding sessions, the work was done and George Harrison's final album was completed.

Brainwashed received outstanding reviews upon its November 2002 release,[1] just as a live tribute of Harrison by an assembly of his musical contemporaries, entitled Concert for George, took place at the Royal Albert Hall.
