Poor George

George Harrison was forced to autograph a guitar on his deathbed for his Staten Island cancer doctor - and even had to endure an impromptu concert by the physician's 12-year-old son, a new bombshell lawsuit charges.

When the ailing Beatle told Dr. Gilbert Lederman he didn't believe he could even remember how to spell his world-famous name, the doctor allegedly grabbed his hand and guided the musician, letter by letter, through the signature.

"Dr. Lederman preyed upon Mr. Harrison while he was in a greatly deteriorated mental and physical condition" just two weeks before his death, charges a $10 million lawsuit filed yesterday in Brooklyn Federal Court by the legendary performer's estate.

Harrison's widow, Olivia, and their son, Dhani, also are seeking the autographed electric guitar signed shortly before the death of the intensely private Beatle in November 2001 at age 58.
