Olivia Harrison

yes.

Okay, well, I was staying in Sydney with a friend, Penelope Tree, and I was just going out there for a break, I think, 1980-something, around the early 80s, and George and Olivia were out there, George and Olivia Harrison, and they had rented a... or they'd been lent, actually, I think.

He was a millionaire character who owned Hamilton Island.

They came to take us, Penelope and myself and a few other friends who were living in Sydney, just round the harbour.

Yeah.

Which they recorded for Olivia Harrison's, uh, Romanian Angel Appeal, that foundation.

Yeah.

I forgot it's a cover.

Yeah

... still when it comes to like talking about Roy's death, he's very like, you know, "Aren't we lucky?" is the thing he said, and people were kinda mad about that.

Like, aren't we lucky that it was him and not us? But Olivia Harrison clarified that what he meant by that was, you know, aren't we lucky to still be alive and have had this time with him.

He has this like enlightened sensibility about him despite being, uh, you know, an old, uh, goofy guy at this point.

Big upside, I can reach so many cool cities up and down the East Coast from my location.

I plan to see Olivia Harrison and Martin Scorsese at the Brooklyn Academy of Music next month, for example.

Number five, I learned to love the Beatles listening to my mom's records and was a kid living in New York the night John Lennon was killed.

Lovely Rita, meet our maid.

And if you're wondering, wait a minute, Danny hasn't had a kid.

Remember, we got a word from Olivia about a year ago, a little more than a year ago, that Danny had a baby girl named Lilo Mizu.

And recently you had the blessing of becoming a grandmother to a beautiful little girl and what is it like as you think about your granddaughter to share this beautiful renewal with her and with and and knowing that George continues on in the world through this beautiful child I feel as all you grandmothers some grandmothers out there

L-I-L-O-U-M-I-Z-U.

In 1978...

Former Beatle George Harrison married record label marketer Olivia Arias in a private civil ceremony at the Henley-on-Thames Register office in England.

The couple had met in 1974 while she was working for A&M Records, and they remained happily married until George's unfortunate passing back in 2001.

In 1978, singer Gloria Fajardo tied the knot with musician and band leader Emilio Estefan.

All right.

Olivia Harrison will be giving interviews to promote the upcoming book of photos taken by George during the Beatle years.

The Third Eye is the name of the book.

She'll be appearing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Opera House on October the 6th at 7:00 PM, and she'll be interviewed by Martin Scorsese.

[laughs]

So then that Monday morning, the next morning, I, I wake up, I'm in the kitchen in my underwear having a cup of coffee, a- a- and it's Olivia Harrison, and she's like, "Chris, I'm in the kitchen in Friar Park, and it's pouring rain, and I'm looking out the window at George's garden, and, you know, he always loved to do his gardening in the rain.

And my mom called me and told me that you played, and I just wanted to thank you and tell you that I was thinking of you, and I wanted you to know that we really appreciate that." And I was like, you know, out of nowhere, you know?

Yeah.

Acrobats flew through the air while remixed versions of songs like Get Back, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Come Together blasted through a state-of-the-art sound system unlike anything audiences had heard before.

Even more remarkable, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, and Olivia Harrison had all been involved in bringing the project to life.

For Beatles fans, it wasn't just another Vegas show.

It felt like an event.
