George Harrison was close with many people, but one of his best friends was Electric Light Orchestra frontman, Jeff Lynne. For a while, though, it didn’t seem like they’d ever become close. George thought Lynne was just another Beatles copycat.
However, that all changed after George realized Lynne was the only person who understood him as a musician. Since Lynne was such a big fan, he was the only person George could think of to help him record his album Cloud Nine.
Their friendship might have had unconventional beginnings, but George and Lynne loved each other. They got to share a beautiful yet heartbreaking last moment together shortly before George died.
