Doctor ‘forced’ Harrison to sign guitar

A DOCTOR forced a weakened George Harrison to autograph a guitar for his teenage son two weeks before the ex-Beatle died of cancer, according to a lawsuit filed in New York.

The suit, filed by Harrison’s estate, alleges the musician tried to resist the request by saying: “I do not even know if I know how to spell my name any more.”

The suit claims Dr Gilbert Lederman responded by saying “Come on, you can do this,” and held Harrison’s hand as he wrote his name on the guitar “with great effort and much obvious discomfort”.
