Dhani Harrison (born August 1, 1978) is the son of Beatle George Harrison and his second wife Olivia Trinidad Arias. They married a month after his birth making Dhani the only child of a Beatle to be born out of wedlock.
Dhani, like his father, is a guitarist. After George's death, Olivia organized a concert in his memory called Concert For George. The musicians included George's best friends Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney. Dhani also played rhythm guitar for most of the concert. A Sun report linked Dhani with former Stone Roses member John Squire and Oasis vocalist Liam Gallagher. Purportedly, they were starting a band with Dhani as the guitarist, Squire as the songwriter, and Gallagher as the vocalist, however, a spokesperson for Gallagher denied these rumours: "The welcome heat of Sunday's weather in London must have got to the editorial staff at The Sun newspaper, so much so that they dreamed up a bizarre story about Liam Gallagher forming a supergroup with John Squire."
