George Harrison's elder sister Louise Harrison dead at 91

George Harrison's older sister Louise Harrison has died at the age of 91.

Harrison died at a Florida nursing home Monday where she was receiving hospice care, friends have since revealed on Facebook, as tributes pour in for the Beatles icon who personally hand-picked members of the tribute band Liverpool Legends.

She was previously cut off from her brother's $2,000-a-year pension in his will by her nephew  Dhani, and has claimed she was never told about her brother's terminal cancer.

Harrison was predeceased by George and her son Gordon.

 Musician Marty Scott first announced the tragic news on Facebook early Tuesday morning, writing: 'It's really hard for me to get words out at the moment, but Lou meant the world to me.

'Since the day I met her, my life was changed forever.'

He said they first met 'just a few weeks after George passed, and it started a whirlwind of change in my entire world.

'She's been my family now for over 20 years,' Scott, of the Liverpool Legends tribute band wrote. 'It's hard for me to explain our relationship, but at times she was truly my sister, sometimes my grandmother, sometimes my child and sometimes my best friend. We spent so much time together, and traveled so many places.

'She was a huge part of my life and did so many things for me and Liverpool Legends,' he continued. 'She opened so many darn doors for us and never took no for an answer. She was a pistol.

'She literally packed up and moved to Branson, Missouri for me. There are so many great memories and they will always keep me smiling every time I think of her.'

Scott added that 'Louise had the biggest heart.'

'She'd give the shirt off her back if you needed one,' he said. 'She made so many people happy in her very unique life. Her story really deserves to be told one day.'

At that point, Scott revealed he had seen Harrison just a 'few weeks ago, and when we said goodbye, I really felt she was saying goodbye for the last time.

'Lou was completely ready to be off this planet and onto a better place. She passed yesterday painlessly and peacefully.

'I love you Louise. All of us love you,' he concluded. 'Rest in Peace and your memory will live on with all of us.'

Another longtime friend, Charlie T. Walsh wrote on Tuesday: 'My heart is so deeply hurting this morning.

'I had the distinct privilege and honor to have had Louise as my dear friend since the 1980s. She was an incredibly loving person who always put others first.

'I had so many heart-to-heart talks with her. II helped her all I could throughout those many years,' he said.

'Her friendship became perhaps the dearest and closest friend I ever had. We had a true spiritual connection.'

Walsh then went on to reveal: 'She once asked me to keep the vultures away from her, those that tried to take advantage of her loving spirit. I tried.

'I know she is with George and her son Gordon,' Walsh wrote. 'Rest in Peace my sweet Louise.'
