Overview
Ex-Beatle George Harrison was honoured posthumously for his solo career tonight when he entered the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Also honoured was Prince, Detroit rocker Bob Seger, California singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, ZZ Top, Traffic and the Dells in the annual induction ceremony in New York.
Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, two fellow members of the Travelling Wilburys, were on hand to salute Harrison. The guitarist joins John Lennon and Paul McCartney as Beatles also honoured by the Rock Hall as solo artists.
Harrison's biggest hit, “My Sweet Lord,†came in a burst of pent-up creativity following the Beatles' break-up. He recorded infrequently in the decade before his death in November 2001 of cancer, but a well-received posthumous disc came out in 2002.
