Today in counterculture history (12/30) * 2

  • 1999:  George Harrison is stabbed by an intruder at his home




Quote:

Knife attack

In late 1999, Harrison survived a knife attack by an intruder in his home.  At 3:30 am on 30 December 1999 36-year-old Michael Abram broke into the Harrisons' Friar Park home and began loudly calling to Harrison. Harrison left the bedroom to investigate while his wife, Olivia, phoned the police. Abram attacked Harrison with a kitchen knife, inflicting seven stab wounds, puncturing a lung and causing head injuries before Olivia Harrison incapacitated the assailant by striking him repeatedly with a fireplace poker. The attack lasted approximately fifteen minutes.  Abram, who believed he was possessed by Harrison and was on a "mission from God" to kill him, was later acquitted of attempted murder on grounds of insanity, but was detained for treatment in a secure hospital. He was released in 2002 after 19 months' detention.  Since John Lennon's assassination in 1980 Harrison had rarely made public appearances, except at tightly controlled settings such as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions.

Less than two actually.  :sad:

Here's a video by Olivia, Dhani and George Harrison about the attack, along with others.

Yeah, how the fuck do you survive 40 stab wounds fine, then have that happen? Sad times. He shouldn't have had an affair with Ringo's wife, though. Maybe God got him back.
