Paul McCartney remembers late Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison every

The singer says he takes an emotional trip down memory lane at each date on
his On the Run tour when he performs Beatles hits, including their 1969
ballad "Something," which was written by Harrison. He tells British magazine
Radar, "Pretty much every night on the show (I think of them) because I do
tributes to them. I have big photographs of George behind me when I do the song
'Something,' his song, and I look at them, and it's so sad because he's not
here.
"But it's lovely to look at those pictures and think, 'God, my mate George,
isn't he a good-looking boy!' You think all the things you couldn't think when
you were a kid, because the bravado aspect forbade it. I do think of them quite
a lot." Lennon was shot and killed in New York in 1980, while Harrison lost his
battle with cancer in 2001.
