George Harrison Admitted He Felt 'Embarrassed' After Going a Full Year Without Making Music
George Harrison didn't make any music in 1977. He shared why his step away began to feel embarrassing to him.
For a good portion of his time with The Beatles, George Harrison fought to have his bandmates take his music seriously. He wanted to be a songwriter and contribute to the band’s albums like John Lennon and Paul McCartney did. When the band broke up, Harrison finally had the chance to showcase his music in the ways he’d always wanted. After less than a decade, though, he tired of the music industry altogether. He admitted he went a full year without making any music, a fact that eventually embarrassed him out of his semi-retirement.
After nearly two decades in the music industry, Harrison completely stepped away from music in 1977. He said he didn’t so much as write a song.
“Well, all of 1977 I didn’t write a song, I didn’t do anything; I was not working at all really, so I decided I’d better start doing something,” he told Rolling Stone. “I’d just turned off from the music business altogether.”
