How much does George Harrisons' son look like his old man?
Re: Covered songs better than the original.
I saw him at Wembley Arena (not performing) earlier this year. He was walking very stiffly with a walking stick after an accident in 2024. Hopefully he'll be making a full recovery.

Re: Covered songs better than the original.
Little footnote, perhaps for "Unchained Melody", if it's not already had a mention?

Like them or not it was a magnificent display of sheer pro musicianship. The backing vocals alone were vast in their scale and precision. Been to so many gigs and that moment really stood out as special.
It was a bit surreal as if you looked up, there was Cher sat in the balcony.
I don't BELIEVE that.
