London: Beatles legend George Harrison once forged signatures of his band mates only to make a dying fan's wish come true.
He faked the signatures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on photos sent to a cancer victim Ann Bartlett, 16, The Sun’s online edition reported.
George, who died of cancer in 2001, is said to have realised he could not get all the signatures in time and so copied them himself.
"I'd heard in London that George was the master forger of the group," Bartlett's father Harry said.
The pictures were recently auctioned which fetched 1,300 pounds to boost research into the disease.
"It adds a certain something and it's actually quite nice," Andrew Bullock, of auctioneers Keys in Aylsham, said.
