Martin's told Britain's Mail on Sunday the ex-Beatle has an indomitable spirit, but knows he's going to die soon, and is accepting that. Harrison, who's 58, received radiation treatment last month at the San Giovanni Hospital in Bellinzona. It's the third outbreak of cancer - Harrison attributes all of them to smoking. In December 1999 Harrison and his wife Olivia narrowly escaped death at the hands of a knife-wielding assailant who broke into their home near London. Harrison was hospitalised with stab wounds to the chest. ============================================= All the best, George. ------------------ Homer Simpson: "I'm gonna tell you 3 things that will haunt you for the rest of your life!
