George Harrison was secretly recording an album in the months before he died, according to British reports.
The Sunday Times said Harrison played tracks from the album to his family at a Los Angeles hospital last Sunday, four days before he died. He gave the album the working title Portrait Of A Leg-End, a jokey reference to his uneasy relationship with fame and his involvement with Monty Python's Flying Circus.
He was working on 25 tracks at a studio in his English home. "Some of the new songs are very poignant concerning his life in the past few years," musician Jim Keltner was quoted as saying.
