    The late George Harrison's widow Olivia has halted a campaign in England to erect a statue of the onetime Beatle near his Oxfordshire home.

    Why is Olivia Harrison a party pooper? Well, instead of a bronze sculpture near the place where George lived the last years of his life, she told organizers she would prefer a community project.

    She feared that the statue would create problems with unwanted fans turning up in the small town.

    The details of the replacement community project are T to the D to the B.
