The famous director Martin Scorsese wants to direct a documentary over George Harrison’s life. The former Beatles member died in 2001 of lung cancer.

George Harrison was one of the Fabulous Four and his songs composed during the Beatles period, such as “Here comes the sun”, will remain in the world music history, as well as the creations from his solo career. In his last years of life Harrison embraced Eastern mysticism and he asked that he’s ashes were spread all over the Gange river, as a last wish.

Martin Scorsese finally won an Oscar award for the crime saga, The Departed. “George Harrison’s music and his search for spiritual meaning is a story that still resonates today and I’m looking forward to delving deeper,” said Scorsese in a newspaper statement.
