George Harrison will be honoured at the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Awards next February, which is run along side the Grammys.

The late Beatles legend will be celebrated a day before the 2015 Grammy Awards on February 7th in Los Angeles along with fellow recipients The Bee Gees, Pierre Boulez, Buddy Guy, Flaco Jiménez, the Louvin Brothers and Wayne Shorte.

“This year we pay tribute to exceptional creators who have made prolific contributions to our culture and history,” recording academy CEO Neil Portnow has said. “It is an honour and a privilege to recognize such a diverse group of talented trailblazers, whose incomparable bodies of work and timeless legacies will continue to be celebrated for generations to come.”

George Harrison joined up with John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the band which would eventually become The Beatles when he was just a teenager. After struggling with ill health following a cancer diagnosis in 1997 and an attack in his home in 1999, he sadly passed away in November 2001.
