Meghalt George Harrison

�tvennyolc �ves kor�ban cs�t�rt�k�n Los Angelesben meghalt George Harrison, a Beatles egykori sz�l�git�rosa. George Harrison egyik bar�tj�nak, Gavin de Beckernek Los Angeles-i h�z�ban halt meg 13.30-kor, miut�n hosszabb ideje �tt�teles r�kban szenvedett. "Teljesen tudat�n�l volt, amikor meghalt"- mondta bar�tja. A Beatles volt �nekese, dalsz�veg�r�ja, git�rosa bar�tja, Gavin de Becker Los Angeles-i h�z�ban halt meg, beteg�gy�n�l feles�ge, Olivia Harrison �s 24 �ves fia, Dhani is ott volt hal�lakor.

K�zdelem a hal�los k�rral

George Harrisonr�l m�r �vek �ta k�ztudott volt, hogy egy v�gzetes betegs�ggel harcol. A neves zen�sz el�sz�r 1998-ban jelentette be, hogy nyel�cs�r�kkal kezelik, s ebb�l az alkalomb�l azt nyilatkozta, hogy "b�rmikor bek�vetkezhet a legrosszabb is". 1999-ben azonban m�s okok miatt ker�lt vesz�lybe az �lete, amikor oxfordshire-i otthon�ban egy bomlott elm�j� bet�r� k�st d�f�tt a mell�be. Harrison �let�t feles�g�nek, Olivia k�sz�nhette, aki egy piszkavassal �s az olvas�l�mp�val tette �rtalmatlann� a mer�nyl�t.

A lelki megr�zk�dtat�st azonban a zen�sz sohasem heverte ki, s a k�s�bbiekben a betegs�ge is �jra t�madt.

Id�n ny�ron Harrison – sz�mos kezel�st k�vet�en – m�r tiszt�ban volt azzal, hogy a r�k elleni harcot el fogja vesz�teni. Az orvosok nem tudtak seg�teni rajta, az �tt�telek lassan fel�r�lt�k szervezete ellen�ll�s�t

J�liusban a legend�s Beatles zenekar egykori git�rosa els� �zben a nyilv�noss�g el�tt is elismerte, hogy hal�los beteg. Ezt k�vet�en ugyan m�g egy k�zlem�nyben pr�b�lt�k megnyugtatni a rajong�it, hogy m�gis alaptalanok az eg�szs�gi �llapot�val kapcsolatos aggodalmak, amelyek sv�jci gy�gykezel�s�nek h�r�re kaptak l�bra, de a pletyk�knak nem siker�lt elej�t venni

Harrison ugyanis k�z�lte bar�taival, hogy m�r nincs sok ideje h�tra, de k�nnyed�n veszi a dolgot. Filoz�fus alkat �s tiszt�ban van azzal, hogy valamikor mindenkinek meg kell halnia - nyilatkozta George Martin, a Beatles egykori producere is, aki az utols� percig tartotta a kapcsolatot Harrisonnal.

Harrisont ny�ron egy sv�jci r�kklinik�n kezelt�k – sug�rkezel�ssel - a fell�p� agydaganata miatt (kor�bban t�d�r�kkal kezelt�k). A m�v�sz h�t milli� fontsterling�rt h�zat is v�s�rolt sv�jci klinika mellett, k�zel az olasz hat�rhoz, hogy orvosai b�rmikor beavatkozhassanak, ha ez sz�ks�gess� v�lik.

A kezel�ssel kapcsolatos k�zlem�ny szerint az ekkor m�r el�rehaladott agytumorral is k�zd� Harrison speci�lis besug�rz�st kapott, “ami nagy er�ss�g�, de csak a daganatot veszi c�lba, az eg�szs�ges r�szeket nem �rinti”. A h�rekb�l azt is tudni lehetett, hogy ezt az elj�r�st csak a v�gs� st�diumban l�v� r�kos betegekn�l alkalmazz�k.

November elej�n Harrisont az agydaganat�val ism�t megm�t�tt�k �s m�r akkor elterjedt a h�r, hogy csak hetei vannak h�tra. Harrison sz�viv�je azonban c�folta a mendemond�kat, s�t bejelentett�k, hogy a szt�r kislemezt jelentett meg, amelyet okt�berben fi�val k�z�sen vettek fel Sv�jcban.

A hal�lh�r azonban ennek ellen�re nem lepte meg a k�zv�lem�nyt. Harrison ebben a harcban nem gy�zhetett, s az orvostudom�ny is tehetetlennek bizonyult a k�rral szemben.

Az utols� dalt Harrison eset�ben is a hal�l j�tszotta.

�let�t

George Harrison volt a Beatles legfiatalabb tagja, 1958-ban csatlakozott a gombafej�ekhez. B�r sosem volt akkora szt�r, mint John Lennon vagy Paul McCartney, saj�t szerzem�nyei, k�zt�k a Don't Bother Me, az If I Needed Someone, az indiai ihlet�s� Within You, Without You, a Something �s a Here Comes The Sun a hatvanas �vekben a Beatles-rajong�k kedvencei voltak.

A Beatles t�bbi tagj�hoz hasonl�an harrison is sz�l�karriert kezdett, s nagy meglepet�sre az addig a legend�s Lennon-McCartney szerz�p�ros m�g� szorul� Harrison egy tripla albummal – All Things Must Pass – lend�lt a sikerlist�kra �l�re, amelyr�l a My Sweet Lord c�m� dala is vil�gsikert aratott. Igaz, k�s�bb egy b�r�s�gon “lop�ssal” v�dolt�k meg a “szerzem�nnyel” kapcsolatosan, �m mindez nem �rtott Harrison �p�l� nimbusz�nak, amit a rockt�rt�neti jelent�s�g� bangladesi koncerttel m�g tov�bb fokozott.

Harrison volt az els� zen�sz a rock t�rt�net�ben, aki 1971-ben,a zen�szt�rsadalom mozg�s�t�s�val j�t�konys�gi koncertet szervezett a bangladesi �hez�k�rt.

George Harrison a hetvenes �vek k�zep�ig gyakran szerepelt a nyilv�noss�g el�tt, els�sorban zen�szbar�tai koncertjein �s lemezein j�tszott, fell�pett Eric Claptonnal, Ravi Sankarral, �n�ll�an turn�zott is.

A k�s�bbiekben egy�ttm�k�d�tt a Dire Straitsszel, �s � hozta l�tre a nyolcvanas �vek v�g�n a Travelin' Wilburys egy�ttest, Bob Dylannel �s Roy Orbinsonnal �s Tom Petty-vel.

George Harrison k�tszer n�s�lt: els� feles�ge, Patti Boyd – akit a neh�z nap �jszak�ja c�m� film forgat�s�n ismert meg, ahol a h�lgy a vonatjelenetben az egyik csacska rajong�t alak�totta – elv�lt t�le, s a hetvenes �vek elej�n Claptonnal �lt egy�tt (aki Layla c�mmel legend�s dalt �rt neki). Harrison 1979-ben vette el m�sodik feles�g�t, a mexik�i sz�rmaz�s� Olivi�t, akit�l fia, Dhani sz�letett, aki zen�szk�nt apja nyomdokaiba l�pett.

Harrison a ynolcvanas �vekt�l fokozatosan visszah�zodott a nyilv�noss�g el�l, hobbij�nak �lt, s k�l�nb�z� helyeken v�s�rolt h�zaiban t�lt�tte az idej�t. Olykor lemezekkel is jelentkezett, ezek azonban m�r nem keltettek k�l�n�sebb szakmai vagy rajong�i visszhangot. Nemr�giben ism�t kiadt�k a legend�s tripla albumot, amely Harrison els� �s utols� mesterm�ve is egyben.

Nev�t a XX. sz�zadi kulturt�rt�net – a Beatles�vel egy�tt – meg�rzi.
