Recent tours by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers show that, like many veteran rockers, they are becoming more popular with age.

Late Beatle George Harrison will be honoured with the unveiling of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

Ex-Beatle George Harrison was honoured posthumously for his solo career last night when he entered the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Leather jackets and mohawk hair cuts mixed with tuxedos as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened its doors to honour punk rock’s first generation, along with Tom Petty, former teen idol Brenda Lee and Shaft maestro Isaac Hayes.
