George Harrison's 1970 double album All Things Must Pass is being re-released next week.
But these days the former Beatle regards himself as a gardener not a pop star.
The reclusive Beatle told USA Today he can't really relate to the Beatles records.
However, he did admit "It's very nice to be part of something so historical" when asked about the success of the Beatles 1 album which has sold 20 million copies worldwide.
He said: "In some ways, the past is like a previous incarnation that catches up with me every time one of these records comes out. I now have six-year-old kids asking
me for autographs."
Talking of his stabbing by an intruder in 1998, Harrison, 57, said: "I had a little throat cancer, I had a piece of my lung removed in 1997, and then I was almost murdered.
"But I seem to feel stronger. I don't smoke any more. I'm a little more short of breath than I used to be, so I don't see myself on stage lasting a full 14 rounds. Some of the songs take a lot of breathing. Otherwise, I certainly feel quite fit."
" I occasionally write a tune, but I'm not really a career person. I'm a gardener, basically."
