"Never Without You" is a tribute song from Ringo Starr to his former Beatles bandmate George Harrison, who died on 29 November 2001.

Starr commented: "Gary Nicholson started that song, and Mark brought it over and we realized we could tailor it.

In a 2003 interview, Starr said that he had remained closest to Harrison of all the former Beatles following the group's break-up in 1970, and that the song conveyed "how I miss him in my heart and in music".

[1] The recording includes a lead guitar part by Harrison's friend Eric Clapton.

Clapton uses Harrison's favourite technique, the slide guitar, to achieve the characteristic sound of a song of the deceased former Beatle.
