It was 1970 when Eric Clapton confessed to his best friend George Harrison, “I have to tell you, man, I’m in love with your wife.”
By then, the marriage between the lead guitarist for the Beatles and model Pattie Boyd was on shaky ground. And the fellow musician had become increasingly obsessed with the rock star muse.
The claims were made in a new book by bestselling biographer Philip Norman, “George Harrison: The Reluctant Beatle,” which places a spotlight on the beloved singer/songwriter’s life and career. Harrison died in 2001 at age 58 from cancer.
