John Lennon's Aunt Wasn't Happy That George Harrison's Mother 'Encouraged' The Beatles Early On

John Lennon‘s Aunt Mimi didn’t exactly like how George Harrison‘s mother, Louise, encouraged The Beatles in their early days. Louise was very supportive of her son from the moment he asked for a guitar. She often cheered him and the group on whenever they performed. Meanwhile, John’s aunt was strict and didn’t want her nephew to waste his life on music.

However, Louise never lost faith in George and continued to be his No. 1 fan until she died in 1970.

When John was very young, his mother Julia sent him to live with her strict sister, Mary “Mimi” Smith, and her husband George. According to Paul McCartney, John was “the posh one,” living in a relatively wealthy neighborhood on Menlove Avenue.

Despite living in a nice home, John’s childhood was far from glamorous. His father abandoned him, and his mother moved on to have a family with another man. She later died in 1958 after being struck by a car.
