George Harrison's Widow: 'George Was Much More Than Just The Quiet Beatle'

George Harrison's widow has exploded the myth the late star was the "quiet" Beatle, insisting he could be a wildman when he wasn't meditating.

In a new Rolling Stone expose, Olivia Harrison reveals the guitarist lived by extremes and he wasn't just the peaceful, gardening fan he has often been depicted as.

She says, "He had a crazy side, too. He liked to have fun... He could be very, very quiet or he could be very, very loud. I mean once he got going, that was it.

"He wasn't, you know, a wimp, I'll tell you that. He could outlast anyone."
