CANCER RECOVERY ON SONG

The Beatles' George Harrison has recorded his first single since being treated for cancer earlier this year.

Harrison, 58, co-wrote "A Horse To Water" with his son, Dhani and recorded it with Jools Holland.

"It was wonderful to work with one of the legendary artists in the world," Holland said. "George suggested we do a track and this finally happened this month."

Harrison recorded the song at home less than six months after having radiotherapy for a brain tumour. He was treated for throat cancer in 1997.

Described as a cross between '60s Bob Dylan and early '70s John Lennon, the single will appear on Holland's album Small World, Big Friends, out next month.

It features duets with Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison and Eric Clapton.
