Paul Mccartney To Finish George Harrison Song?

Sir Paul McCartney may finish a recording by George Harrison.

The Beatles legends could be reunited on a song almost 12 years after George's death from cancer in 2001, as his widow, Olivia, has launched a project to complete demos made before his passing.

Olivia said: ''There is some more material. There may be a minute of something he was writing and it will never be finished. I had an idea of giving unfinished songs to different people - with one going to Paul.''

A source close to 'Band on the Run' hitmaker Paul said he is excited by the project, telling The Express newspaper: ''Paul is certainly keen to work on a George song.

''He misses George badly and this is an opportunity he won't pass up.''

After The Beatles - which also included John Lennon and Ringo Starr - split in 1970, they all pursued solo careers.

John was assassinated in 1980 but the remaining three reassembled in 1995 to work on demos of two songs, 'Free As A Bird', and 'Real Love' which he had composed but not completed for their 'Anthology' project.

Remembering George last year, Paul said: ''Every time I see something to do with George it brings back more memories than you would believe.

''He was my little mate on the school bus. A lot of fond memories. He's sorely missed by us all.''

George's last album, 'Brainwashed', was completed by his son, Dhani and released in 2002.

njmarlo, what on earth are your talking about? What has his marital status/happiness go to do with completing a Geroge Harrison composition? Moving on. George was such a great writer. As much as I love The Beatles and always will, I always thought George wrote better songs than Paul, not that Paul is bad. George went more John's direction I think. But it will be nice to hear some new Geroge songs. Miss his presence in the music world. Miss John's much more.
