Experts believe George Harrison forged the signatures of the other Beatles so a girl dying from leukemia would receive complete set of Fab autographs on pictures the band sent her back in the 1960s.

At first glance they appear to be genuine autographs signed by all four Beatles, but Harrison was thought to have practiced and practiced until he could reproduce the flamboyant signature of drummer Ringo Starr, and those of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And slight differences when compared with authenticated signatures, lead experts and the auction house to believe it highly likely they were forged by The Beatles' lead guitarist in order not to disappoint a young leukaemia victim, who was one of the group's biggest fans.

  1. Hi, John... thanks for the linkage of the Hulk's new blog!

    The Hulk says: "Pop Culture Safari smart to link to Hulk blog. Hulk does not understand what safari has to do with Coke or Pepsi or yogurt, but Hulk is sure puny Jon will try to explain it to Hulk and make Hulk's head hurt."
