George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Yoko, Sean, and Julian Lennon all attend. Paul McCartney does not attend, sending instead a letter stating that continuing business differences with the other ex-Beatles was the reason for his absence.However, Harrison’s speech revealed they still had love for Paul, and the controversy was later forgotten about. Yoko Ono, as well as Sean and Julian Lennon were present to represent John Lennon.
To close the show, George and Ringo joined Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and, from The Supremes, Mary Wilson, among many others in an informal all-star jam session. Songs performed during this end of evening concert included “I Saw Her Standing There”, “All Along The Watchtower”, “Twist And Shout”, “Stand By Me”, “Stop In The Name Of Love”, “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”, “Hound Dog”, “Honey Hush”, “Barbara Ann”, “Blue Bayou” and “Satisfaction”.Paul McCartney did show up to induct John Lennon as a solo artist into the Hall of Fame in 1994 in the presence of Yoko Ono, and gave an emotional and heartfelt speech.
