Former Beatle George Harrison left £99 million in his will, it has been confirmed.

The guitarist, who had a mansion in Henley, died of lung cancer on November 29 last year, aged 58.

A High Court document revealed that the gross value of his estate in the UK amounted to £99,226,780, with a net value of £98,916,464.

Mr Harrison's widow, Olivia, said he saved her life when they were attacked by a knife-wielding intruder in December 1999.

He worked on his music until his death, recording a final album, Brainwashed.

Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton played at a tribute concert on November 29 at the Royal Albert Hall, in aid of The Material World Charitable Foundation, which Mr Harrison founded.

Los Angeles-born Olivia Harrison was married to the star for 23 years.

She told an NBC interviewer in America her husband had long accepted his fate, having been a follower of the Hindu Hare Krishna faith.

Mrs Harrison said: "George dedicated a lot of his life to obtain a good ending.

"I don't have any doubt that he was successful," she said.
