Paul McCartney, Tom Hanks Give George Harrison the Star Treatment

[Political Tiger]

From Abbey Road to Hollywood Boulevard.

George Harrison posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this morning—the 2,382nd issued—becoming the second individual Beatle to earn the solo honor.

Paul McCartney was on hand to represent for the Fab Four.

Also joining the hundreds of fans gathered in front of the Capitol Records building (not far from John Lennon's star) were Tom Hanks and a couple of Harrison's fellow Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, doing their best to add a little more pomp to the circumstance.

Harrison's widow, Olivia, and son, Dhani, were also present for the unveiling, which honored the musician's career as a twice-inducted member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and 11-time Grammy winner.

In conjunction with the unveiling of Harrison's stary, EMI/Capitol Records announced the first ever collection of his post-Beatle hits, Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison, to be released June 16.

Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001 at age 58.

1. That's awesome. Harrison was a class act

And is there anyone cooler than Tom Petty?

2. It's silly that Cliff Richard is a 'sir' and Harrison and Starr are not. Wake up Liz! nt
