I've known George forever and he's a really beautiful guy who I love dearly. He was a great guy, full of love for humanity.
Former Beatle Paul McCartney.
George was a best friend of mine. I loved him very much and I will miss him greatly. ... We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.'' - Former Beatle Ringo Starr.
``His life was magical and we all felt we had shared a little bit of it by knowing him.'' - Yoko Ono, widow of former Beatle John Lennon.
``He was a very lovable person. I would say he was the major cog in The Beatles at that time. He kept them together probably because of the calming effect he had.'' - Alan Williams, The Beatles' first manager.
``George was a giant, a great, great soul, with all of the humanity, all of the wit and humor, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him.'' - Musician Bob Dylan, who founded the Traveling Wilburys with Harrison.
``George Harrison was one of the world's few good men, one of the better people I ever met. I will and the world will miss him. He was truly loved.'' - ``Godfather of Soul'' James Brown.
``I am very saddened by George's death and will miss him enormously. As a guitarist, he invented many classic lines that were much copied by others and he wrote several very beautiful songs that we will always remember.'' - Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones lead singer.
``To me, George was, always will be, above all, a real gentleman, in the full meaning of the word. We both felt we held similar positions in our respective bands, which formed a special knowing bond between us. Let's hope he's jamming with John.''
``He will certainly be missed, and his music will live on forever. My only regret about the situation apart from my personal feelings toward him and his family is wondering what other songs were in his mind that we will never get to hear.'' - Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
``George, always called the quiet Beatle, he never stopped talking when I was with him. He had an enormous number of friends who were terribly loyal to him, and will be very saddened.''
``It was my sitar and Indian music which connected me to George in the beginning, but very soon our relationship went beyond that. He was a friend, disciple and son to me. George was a brave and beautiful soul, full of love, child-like humor and a deep spirituality.'' - Sitar musician Ravi Shankar.
``As he said himself, how do you compare with the genius of John and Paul? But he did, very well.'' - Bob Geldof, musician, activist and Harrison acquaintance who got advice from Harrison while organizing the ``Live Aid'' charity concert.
``I am horribly saddened by the death of George Harrison. While we were not personal friends, I think that just like everybody in the world, I have always considered all the Beatles to be my friends. Their arrival in America in 1964 was electrifying, one of the most exciting things that ever happened in my life, and their music has always and will always mean so much to me.'' - Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.
``He triumphed, because on their final album his songs were the highlight.'' - Alan Clayson, Harrison's biographer.
