Former Beatle George Harrison Survived a Near-Fatal Stabbing, But an Aide Said 'It Changed Him'

Former Beatle George Harrison was nearly killed in 1999 when a man entered the home he shared with his wife Olivia and their son Dhani. He found Harrison and, seemingly intent on killing him, stabbed him multiple times.

While the “Got My Mind Set On You” singer survived the ambush and even joked about it, a member of his staff revealed that he was never the same after that.

The events of the night of Dec. 30, 1999 came to light during the trial of the man who attacked the musician in his home.

Harrison told the court that the evening began with his having locked up the estate for the night and joining his wife in bed at around 2 a.m. About an hour later, his wife Olivia heard what sounded like glass breaking. She thought in her grogginess that perhaps a chandelier had fallen, but realized soon enough that someone had broken into their home.

The “Blow Away” singer stated that he went to investigate the noise, while his wife called the police. He spotted the intruder, whose name he later learned was Michael Abram. Harrison’s attempts to reason with Abram were fruitless, as the man had begun screaming at the former Beatles guitarist.
