3 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Former Beatle George Harrison’s Son Dhani Harrison
It’s been eighteen years this month since guitarist, singer, songwriter, author, and actor George Harrison left us. The former Beatle died in 2001 of throat cancer that had metastasized. He left behind his wife, Olivia, 71, and their son, Dhani, 41, who is an established artist himself and a dedicated curator and custodian of his father’s songs.
Find out a few other things about Dhani Harrison that you may not have known, including his surprising net worth.
Dhani Harrison was married but is now divorced
Dhani married Icelandic psychologist and former model Solveig ‘Sola’ Káradóttir in 2012 at his family’s Friar Park estate in Henley-on-Thames. In attendance were actor Tom Hanks and the two remaining Beatles, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. The bride wore, naturally, a gown designed by Stella McCartney.
The couple walked down the aisle to Led Zeppelin’s The Rain Song at the ceremony. “We decided to use the music off Dhani’s father’s jukebox,” stated the bride at the time, of walking down the aisle to this particular song.
Sadly, four years later, the couple went their separate ways, citing irreconcilable differences in divorce papers. TMZ reported in 2016 that a prenuptial agreement laid out how much Káradóttir would receive after the divorce, although exact sums were not made public.
Dhani Harrison is a musician in his own right
Like the other Beatles’ sons, including Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey, Dhani inherited his famous father’s musical talent, and is constantly churning out music. In 2017, he released his debut album, IN///PARALLEL.
