George Harrison, a member of the Beatles, died in 2001 at age 58 from cancer. His first wife, model Pattie Boyd, is the inspiration for 'Layla' and 'Something.'

It was 1970 when Eric Clapton confessed to his best friend George Harrison, 'I have to tell you, man, I’m in love with your wife.' By then, the marriage between the lead guitarist for the Beatles and model Pattie Boyd was on shaky ground. And the fellow musician had become increasingly obsessed with the rock star muse.

Philip has previously written a book on Clapton, as well as John Lennon and Paul McCartney. 'George was a massive contradiction,' Norman told Fox News Digital. 'And this very curious relationship evolved after his best friend Eric Clapton became absolutely infatuated with his first wife… You never truly know what goes on between these guitar superheroes.' Harrison met Boyd in 1964 on the set of the film 'A Hard Day’s Night' in which she had a small role.

It was at a party when Harrison saw Boyd and Clapton having an intimate conversation. When he confronted them, Clapton confessed his feelings. In response, Harrison asked his wife which of them she would end the night with. 'I’m coming home with you, George,' Boyd replied. Boyd stayed in the marriage for three more years. But the final straw was when Harrison began having an affair with Maureen Starkey, Ringo Starr’s wife.
