  Not Guilty: A review of Marc Shapiro's "Behind Sad Eyes: The Life of George Harrison"
Shapiro writes that George was actually complicit in the messy late 60s love triangle between Eric Clapton and George's wife Pattie.
Shapiro then says that George's wife, Olivia, held Harrison together and that George appeared to be really happy for the first time in his life.
George had survived a first cancer scare in 1988 and then contributed well to the Threatles reunion on the Anthology Series in 1995.
