HARRISON'S POSTHUMOUS HONOUR BID
Late BEATLE GEORGE HARRISON is at the centre of a legal row - as officials in Bangladesh fight to have the star posthumously honoured for a historic gig he performed more than 35 years ago.
Harrison, who died in 2001, sang at the Concert For Bangladesh in the war-torn country in 1971, along with fellow musicians including Beatle bandmate Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton.
And now a legal bid has been launched to make sure Harrison is offered a formal posthumous thanks for his part in the fundraising event.
Lawyer Masood Sobhan is disgusted the Beatle's work has never been recognised by world leaders.
He says, "It is shameful. It is a real tragedy that we have to go to court to seek recognition for their great contribution to this country.
"It is a national debt. We should recognise them out of decency, out of moral obligation and out of gratitude."
