How George Harrison Quickly Formed The Traveling Wilburys

While getting five superstars together to form a group seems impossible, George Harrison had little trouble getting other music legends to join the Traveling WilburysWhile George Harrison had an incredible solo career after The Beatles, he briefly formed a supergroup called The Traveling Wilburys. While the group had a limited run, it was still a legendary collaboration that featured rock icons such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. While getting all five of those legends together seemed impossible, Harrison quickly formed the quintet.

Harrison was an icon worldwide just for being a part of The Beatles. Many artists wanted to work with him, not only because he was a Beatle, but also because he was a tremendous guitar player and songwriter.
