Especially the museum deals with the history that concerns rock and roll.

Eric Clapton
On March 6, 2000, guitarist and singer Eric Clapton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his solo career. That way he would become the first artist to be included 3 times. Clapton had previously been included as a member of The Yardbirds (1992) and Cream (1993).

Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney was inducted into the rock n ‘roll hall of fame at the same time as The Beatles’ producer George Martin. But it wasn’t particularly a matter of pride. The problem was, Linda McCartney, Paul’s partner, wife, and colleague, had died a year earlier and couldn’t be there to share the joy. There was no explanation for delaying Paul’s induction into the Rock n ‘Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, as a Hall of Famer he had joined as one of the Beatles in ’88.
George Harrison
George Harrison was inducted as a solo musician into the Rock n ‘Roll Hall of Fame 2004, joining Paul and John for the second time, since in 1988 they did so as a band.

At the ante-gala, Ringo – like other winners – answered questions from the press and promised to “remember this ceremony”, making a reference to the ceremony where The Beatles entered the hall of fame, and Ringo seemed a bit … “Altered”.
