I can find no evidence to support that claim:

Still, after Harrison was diagnosed with cancer in 1997 and nearly murdered in his home by a deranged, knife-wielding intruder in 1999, he confessed to his wife Olivia that he still wasn't where he wanted to be spiritually. "I better start letting go of this life," she recalls George telling her. "I better start doing what I've been practicing to do my whole life so that I can leave my body the way I want to."

When Harrison lost his battle with cancer on November 29, 2001, Olivia says "there was a profound experience that happened when he left his body. It was visible. Let's just say that you wouldn't need to light the room if you were trying to film it. He just lit the room." Admirable faith

How Harrison lived out his spirituality is admirable on many levels. As a Christian, I don't share his beliefs and conclusions, but I can learn much from how he dispensed with the trappings of our earthly existence (figuratively at least; he left 100 million British pounds—or about $163 million US—to his heirs), how passionately he pursued his faith, and especially how he faced death.

Bob Dylan’s conversion didn’t quite last. He seems to hover between Judaism, Christianity and agnosticism. Different groups want to claim him, but only he knows for sure what he believes (and he may not be all that sure himself).

Never heard that, but Dylan eventually did resign himself to being Jewish.
