The article below was in the Sunday Mirror...I also heard the same story on a few newsgroups and it was reported by the CBS News program "Sunday Morning" this morning as well...anyone hear anything more concrete? I know that the Mirror is a tabloid...so I don't entirely trust them.

I'm very upset...if anyone knows anything further, please, please tell!

GEORGE: I'M DYING

Brave Harrison reveals he's losing battle against cancer
GEORGE Harrison is close to death from cancer, it was revealed last
night.

The 58-year-old former Beatle, being treated for a brain tumour in
Switzerland, admits he is losing his battle.

It is the third time he has been struck down with cancer. In 1997 he
was
treated for a lump in his neck and earlier this year he had an
operation for
lung cancer. The brain tumour is said to be secondary to the lung
cancer.

Last night George's close friend and former Beatles producer Sir
George
Martin said: "He is taking it easy and still hoping that the thing
will go
away. He has an indomitable spirit but he knows that he is going to
die soon
and he is accepting of that."

Harrison is being treated by Switzerland's leading cancer specialists
at a
clinic near Geneva. His second wife Olivia is at his side. George
Martin
added: "George is very philosophical, he has been near death many
times and
he's been rescued many times as well."

Only two years ago George was nearly killed by a crazed fan who broke
into
his 120-room mansion and stabbed him several times with a knife.

He was saved by Olivia, who managed to fight off the attacker with a
brass
poker.

HMVNipper,

Thank you for this update. I am very saddened by this http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry1.gif and now, more than ever, we all really do need each other. These boards are such a Godsend at times like this. George is on the Prayer List at my church and we on these boards and beyond are offering our prayers, best wishes and hopes for George. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry2.gif

I take comfort in knowing all of you are out there on these boards. A sense of unity is sorely needed right now.

Yet I do not understand why just a few weeks ago when the Swiss Operation news came out there we denials by George, even on ATMP, which just now does not open at all.

Sir George Martin is not a man who misguides people at all, and specially about things like this.

Very scaring !

Reuters is carrying the story now, so it must be true.

NOOOOOO!!! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/shakehead1.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry1.gif I know we all have to go sometime, but we still need George with us. Fifty-eight is still too young to lose him. John may be my favorite, but I'm still upset by this. I'm glad we at least have this forum to share our feelings.

Anyway, to buck up our spirits and to send strength to George, I'm going to post this poem by Dylan Thomas (you know, Bob Dylan's namesake http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/wink1.gif ):

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words have forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I am still searching websites for more than just the copied Martin interview. It is said somewhere here that CNN has reported it from George himself, but nowhere on CNN it can be found. Strange.

Then, if you read the quoted comment fro Sir George

"He is taking it easy and still hoping that the thing will go away. He has an indomitable spirit but he knows that he is going to die soon and he is accepting of that." He says, however, that George has maintained a positive attitude. "George is very philosophical. He does realise that everybody has got to die some time. ... He has been near death many times and he's been rescued many times as well. But he knows he is going to die soon and he's accepting it perfectly happily."

..the word 'soon' is the thing what this is about. What is soon and what did Sir George mean by it or say further. You know how it works in papers like that.

And the Reuter story that George has confirmed it; lately all first comments do not come from George himself but from his spokesman. And others like BBC would have picked it up which BBC has not done yet.

Anyway, just trying to think straight.

------------------
George, you're in my heart, you're in my soul. God bless you and the family.

Paul & George are my favorites and I am http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry1.gif very sad about this latest report on George. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry2.gif We are lucky to have this forum. When John died in 1980, there was no internet and one did not feel the same sense of unity that we do today.

A PRAYER FOR GEORGE

God, please bless George. You gave him the gift of music and he in turn gave back to make this world a better place. He acknowledged You in his music and in his speeches; George made You part of his life.

God, thank You for the gifts of music, fun and humor that the Beatles singly and together have brought many people. George used his talents to enrich and improve the lives of others. Please bless George and may he not suffer and may he be aware of his good qualities and may he be in the company of his loved ones.

God, please bless George.

Amen

Reporters and newspapers have a way of blowing things out of proportion....but then again I don't think that it's a lie http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif When it said that George was accepting his fate...did that mean that he was no longer going to undergo any kind of treatments?? There are treatments that can lengthen one's life by months...does this mean that he is just laying around? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif George is my favorite Beatle, how could this happen? I lit a luminary candle for George at this cancer walk we had in our town but I didn't know that he was this sick.... poor George http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry4.gif The sick feeling in me tells me it is true...

Art Of Dying(Harrison)
There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying

But you're still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There'll be no need for it

There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?

A coworker said to me just the other day that she thought my concern over George's health was "morbid" and "ghoulish" and that she, for one, thought people who, in her words "got all worked up over someone they don't even know" were fools. I'll tell you what I don't understand -- such a cavalier attitude. I don't see anything morbid or ghoulish about caring about someone who has helped influence our lives for the better. I see nothing ghoulish in caring about someone. Heck, the Beatles THEMSELVES taught us "All You Need is Love" and "Come Together!"

Thank God for the people on these boards. I feel a sense of unity here. I want to thank everybody.

Susan,

You are NOT rambling! You were brave to share that here and I confess I have had a bad feeling about this since July 9, 2001. You were brave enough to say what many of us were feeling (I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside, oh yeah. I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide, oh no). I have had that same bad feeling, but did not want to admit to having it.

My church and the sister parish have George on the prayer list and on the Prayer Lines. I am not prepared for this either. Luckily we have e-mails and this board. This is a good place to be at a time like this. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry2.gif

All day I've been trying to think this thing through.
I'm not totally convinced that the Harrison family would use George Martin as their spokeperson but for arguments sake I'll say they have. Wouldn't he make a formal statement to a very credible newspaper or other media? This article in the 'Mirror' has a very gossipy ring to it to me. George Martin is discreet. He wouldn't speak out of turn and if he was asked to speak he would say the thing properly.
On the other side of the coin however - I do not like the way the ATMP site has changed - that looks very grim to me.

After half a night of sleep I still have that feeling. Some main news sources still don't report, like BBC and CNN nothing on CeeFax or so.

My morning newspaper copied the George Martin quotes.

I think we just have to wait today and see what happens and if a real story comes out.

I still don't want to believe it on the basis of what's been reported sofar, although there is plenty of unfortunate experience with this deciese (probably spelled that wrong).

Everytime experiences with cancer come in my life I wonder why it is that this still happens and there is no real cure for it.

I am so distraught. I am sending him all the love and light that I possibly can and hoping so much that there is a possibility that this will all go away. I think we all know how each other is feeling about this.

I completely agree, BB...see what I mean about non-Beatles people not quite understanding? Even my own parents, who say they understand, don't really. I mean, they know I'm upset, and I think they are too, but sometimes I get a definite impression that my mother wishes I'd shut up about all this stuff already!

Other friends have said similar things -- that some people don't get it, and they think it's obsessive and morbid to be so preoccupied with this, but let's face it, George is someone very important to all of us, whether we have met him in person or not. He's a member of our extended family! After all, aren't all of us who are Beatles fans part of one big family? And even in big, extended families, the members come together in difficult times. God knows this is a difficult time.

Don't worry about what other people say who don't quite get it...unless they are really insensitive, they may not understand, but they won't put you down for caring -- and if you need to comiserate with people who know exactly what you're going through, places like this are definitely the places to go!

Remember, as Paul said, "We All Stand Together!" And we're here for each other!

This is all too much. I still have a hard time believing George is going to die soon. He *can't* die, not now...he's still young. Both of my grandpas died from cancer and I remember the weeks and days when we knew they were dying and just waited for *that* day to come...we didn't want it to...but it did. I feel like that now...it's like my grandpas' deaths again. They were 67 and 68 years old. George is ten years younger, and possibly suffering like they were. I feel so bad for him. I don't want him to suffer. I also feel bad for my friend who's a huge George fan. She wanted to meet George one day, but it look likes that will never happen. She's not one of those crazy fans at all. She's like a lot of us, she cares deeply for George and the other Beatles.
Luckily, my family, I know *they* won't understand. I hear what you guys are saying about the non-Beatle fans not really understanding. Heck, if their favorite Backstreet Boy or N'Sync memeber died, they'd be weeping.

My mother said pretty much the same thing. She said that it was an invasion of George's privacy to "harp on his illness" and she wishes to goodness I would never even bring it up. She thinks I'm being obsessive, morbid and preoccupied. A coworker and an aunt have said the same thing to me. I have tried to explain that it is the very fact that we care about George that has us so up in arms over this. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry2.gif I know better than to talk to her about this. This whole thing is very upsetting to me and I don't want to cry http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry2.gif ever, especially at work, so I'll hop off this train for now.

Thanks, Bearkat. I've been playing news bulletins of "ex-Beatle George Harrison's death" over and over again in my mind these past couple weeks. I don't even want to watch T.V. afraid of a breaking report and the sadness of watching his funeral with poor Paul and Ringo getting grilled by the media.
Pray for the best, Beatle people.

Maria, I, too am Catholic. I read years ago that George was baptized Catholic. Your message was well written and what really stands out is that you care about George. You care about people. You're on the Beatles Board as a Beatle Person. That speaks to a lot of good.

Even though English might not be your first language, you communicated very well with us. You've got friends on these boards.
