How do you expect me to not ENTIRELY MELT ?? The way he laughs is just insanely and awfully CUTE & his face, his smile.. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in love with him.. I'm just platonically in love but- just look at him, you just CANNOT not love him, he's just a tiny sweet angel 🥹❤️🩹
George Harrison with Peter Tork and Bill Chadwick in Kinfauns, Esher (1967)
“I first met George at Mama Cass’s house in Los Angeles, then we met again at a get-together at the Speakeasy Club in London. He was kind enough to invite me and my pal Bill Chadwick out to his house, and to take us to visit Ringo later that day. He was as kind and as gentle a man as you could imagine.” - Peter Tork, Liverpool Echo (2011)
“The Monkees are still finding out who they are, and they seem to be improving as performers each time I see them. When they’ve got it all sorted out, they may be the greatest.” - George Harrison
Deepest condolences to Astrid Kirchherr’s family and friends.
Devastating. Astrid’s invaluable images and memories will be featured later on this year, and I’ve spent much of the last days translating, not realizing what news was to come. What a photographer, what an artist, what an extraordinary person, and what an indelible influence. Thank you, Astrid, for everything.
Vielen herzlichen Dank, Astrid, für die Fotos, den Stil, die k��nstlerische Leichtigkeit; für die Fürsorge, Liebe und Freundschaft die zwischen Hamburg and Liverpool bestand.
“Astrid was the one, really, who influenced our image more than anybody.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology
“[Stuart Sutcliffe] was my happiness, my life, my lover.” - Astrid Kirchherr, translated from Spiegel, 2/1994
“[George] took care of me all my life. Whenever I was really in trouble I just had to call him. And he was there then.” - Astrid Kirchherr, translated from 1/4NACH5, May 2003
“I had the strongest friendship with George. He was one of my best friends. We saw each other often, and he always looked after me, got in touch constantly to ask if I was healthy and if I have everything. Today […] I still meet up with his wife Olivia and his son Dhani. […] [F]rom George I learned a lot about religion, self-realization and reincarnation.” - Astrid Kirchherr, translated from Hörzu, 2005
“I remember we had a little walk in his park [Friar Park], and I was so full of love and joy to be with him that I cried. He said, ‘You must not cry, I will always look after you.’ He had no fear. No fear whatsoever. I miss his presence, but I’ve got the feeling he’s still around me.” - Astrid Kirchherr, The Age, 2 Jun 2005
“George was always my favorite, his kindness and his wit. He was just a wonderful person and whenever I was in trouble, like with money and things, he was always looking after me and he invited me a couple of times to London and later on to Henley. I just miss him terribly because he was like a little guardian angel for me, I feel like I am in a way lost without him.” - Astrid Kirchherr, Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective [see post on Instagram]
