Brainwashed (George Harrison album)
''Brainwashed'' is the twelfth and final studio album by George Harrison, released in 2002, almost a year after his death at age 58. As Harrison's first posthumous release, ''Brainwashed'' garnered much attention upon its unveiling.
==History==
Harrison began recording the tracks that eventually saw issue on ''Brainwashed'' as early as 1988 (with "Any Road" being written during the making of a video for "This Is Love" from the ''Cloud Nine'' album) and continued to do so in a sporadic manner over the next decade and a half. Progress was delayed by business problems with Harrison's former manager, Denis O'Brien, as well as his work with the Traveling Wilburys, Ravi Shankar, and his work on the Beatles' ''Anthology''. In an interview in 1999, Harrison announced the title of his next album to be ''Portrait of a Leg End'', and played songs entitled "Valentine", "Pisces Fish" and "Brainwashed". During the promotion for the 2001 re-release of ''All Things Must Pass'', Harrison joked that the name of the album would be ''Your Planet Is Doomed – Volume One''.〔Huntley, pp. 309–10.〕 After recuperating from being attacked in his home by Michael Abram on 30 December 1999, Harrison focused on finishing the album, simultaneously sharing his ideas for all its details (from the sound of the finished songs to the album's artwork) with his son Dhani – information that ultimately proved very valuable.
Harrison successfully battled throat cancer in 1997; in 2001 he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous growth from one of his lungs, and radiotherapy for lung cancer which had metastasised to his brain. Once he realised it was an irreversible situation, he worked further on the album's songs – in conjunction with Dhani and his old collaborator Jeff Lynne – until he was unable to do more. Harrison's final work on the album was carried out at a recording studio in Switzerland shortly before his trip to the United States for cancer treatment. On 29 November 2001, Harrison died, leaving ''Brainwashed'' unfinished, but with a guide to completing it in the hands of his son and Lynne.
After a few months away from the project, both the younger Harrison and Lynne returned to working on George's final songs and added the appropriate instruments, as per their composer's specifications, to the recordings. So close to completion was the project that the two used the exact timetable and session bookings that George himself had originally planned. After 14 years of indefinite delays and some difficult but rewarding sessions, the work was done and George Harrison's final album was completed.
