George & Ringo's friendship after the affair  | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

On page 237 of Ringo: With a Little Help , Michael Starr states, “George Harrison , always ready and available to lend a hand to Ringo, came through once again [by playing on his new album]. The two old friends had made amends after George’s dalliance with Maureen.”

Also regarding George’s death, M. Starr writes on page 340:

In the 2011 documentary about George’s life, Living in the Material World, Ringo gave a tearful interview in which he recalled his last visit with his ailing “brother.”

“The last weeks of George’s life he was in Switzerland, and I went to see him, Ringo said. He was very ill, and he could only lay down. And while he was being ill, and I had come to see him…I was going to Boston, ’cause my daughter had a brain tumor. And I said, ‘Well, I gotta go to Boston,’ and he goes — there’re the last words I heard him say, actually — and he said, ‘Do you want me to come with ya?’ So that’s the incredible side of George.”

Yeah, they went on to be just fine with one another.

As a side note, Ringo was by Maureen’s side when she died. That shows some caring in-and-of itself.

Strange how George held no grudge towards Pattie and Eric when they got together and Ringo held no grudge when George and Maureen got together. For most it would destroy friendships and leave resentment for years.

The ways of Beatles.

Jusst waiting to hear the rumours of John and Linda and Paul and Yoko being true.

The whole story of when/how Ringo found out about George and Maureen is an interesting read in M. Starr’s book.

What rumours?

Rumours go about that there was a thing between John and Linda and also Paul and Yoko. And by rumours I mean people making up crap and trying to get others to think it could be true.

i’m not so sure that in the years immediately following tha affair nothing changed. note that Ringo had played in all George’s records until the fact and George in Ringo’s. then Ringo reappeared only in somewhere in england and George on Stop and smell the roses. maybe they don’t broke  fiendship/brothership but for some years it was not so strong as before

George gave ‘I’ll Still Love You’ (a left over from the ‘All Things Must Pass ‘ recording sessions) to Ringo for ‘Rotogravure’ in 1976 but wasn’t able to play (i forget why*); George sued Ringo when he heard the results and it was settled out of court.

And it wasn’t just George who wasn’t on a Ringo record until ‘Stop And Smell The Roses; neither John (admittedly he was away from the music scene and didnt again due to his murder in 1980 but its almost certain he would have done having set aside a couple of tracks for Ringo to record) or Paul would appear on a Ringo record until then.

*Wiki has George busy working on ‘Thirty-Three & 1/3’.

Harrison donated a song too, but because of his commitments to get his album Thirty Three & 1/3 (1976) done on schedule, he couldn’t take part in any recording for Ringo’s Rotogravure. Harrison’s contribution was a song previously known as “When Every Song Is Sung”, which he had attempted to record first with Ronnie Spectorin 1971, then with Cilla Black (on which Starr also played), and later still with Leon Russell’s wife Mary.
