(Radio.com) Who wouldn't love a good Beatles statue? James Lambert, from Oxfordshire, England, found out otherwise.

The Henley-on-Thames resident � a small town in southeast England where George Harrison lived during his final years � was running a campaign to pay tribute to the late Beatle by erecting a statue to honor his contribution to the town.

At the request of Olivia Harrison, George's widow, Lambert is now considering a community project instead of the statue. more on this story
