 Stewart Mourns George Harrison's Death Friday November 30th, 2001
The guitarist known as "the quiet Beatle" - a big fan of Formula One racing - died at a friend's home in Los Angeles at the age of 58 on Thursday with his wife Olivia and son Dhani at his side, succumbing to the cancer that overshadowed his last years. Stewart, whose son Paul and wife Helen suffer from cancer too, was a close friend to the musician. "It is a sad day," Stewart told Radio Five. "It is always a shame, and is never easy, when the final curtain comes down. George was a remarkable man and, more than anything, was a deep and valued friend. My family was close to him - my sons and wife spent a lot of time close to him at his home - and of course, he loved motorsport. "I think George understood life, and he understood death. He was a deep man, and looked at things at a different way to most people in this life. More than anything, he will, of course, be remembered for his music, but I will remember him for other reasons."
