Delighted that my George Harrison biography, Behind the Locked Door, is being republished in July in the Omnibus Remastered series – with a fresh paint-job & new foreword by the mighty STEVE EARLE. Thanks to @quantick.bsky.social, @johnhiggs.bsky.social & Mark Billingham for generous testimonies 👇

Loved this book, great to see it being republished in a handsome new edition

The best book on George by far.

Quite easily the best book ever written by George Harrison - soon available in a shiny new even better edition!
