London: Beatles legend George Harrison's sister Louise says she is writing a book about the guitarist and his famous bandmates.

Louise Harrison is the older sister of the late guitarist - who died of lung cancer ten years ago on November 29 - at the age of 58.

She said that she wants to tell the real story of her brother and his famous bandmates, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, because she believes it is her duty to get the truth out, reported Contactmusic.

"So much garbage has been written about George and the Beatles. Half of the stuff has been written by people who spent maybe an hour on a plane with the Beatles. Now I think it's my duty to get the truth out. There's been all kinds of myths and fantasies written about them. At least I have some facts to go on, because I was there from even before they were the Beatles," she said.

Louise, who plans to include never before seen photographs has also praised her and George's parents, saying they kept the star grounded.

"We were very fortunate to have such great parents. They kept us grounded. Even when George became a public figure, as did I, so to speak, my parents would receive thousands of letters from fans all over the world thanking them for having George. They took very good care to answer them all, they felt they were creating a global family for Beatles fans. "They had so much love within them, and they shared that love with everyone," she added.
