Harrison died of lung cancer on Nov. 29, 2001, at the age of 58, becoming the second Beatle to pass away (John Lennon was murdered in New York City on Dec. 8, 1980).

Interest in the Beatles remains undiminished: Disney+ unveiled Peter Jackson’s three-part documentary The Beatles: Get Back on Nov. 25, and the upcoming Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man recently announced casting for the band.
