McCartney's Rock Hall grievance resurfaces ahead of new exhibition, documentary

• It comes as "Man on the Run," a documentary about McCartney's post-Beatles career, debuts on Apple TV, and as the Rock Hall announced its expansive "Paul McCartney and Wings" exhibition will open May 15.

The intrigue: In the interview, McCartney talks about Rock Hall co-founder Jann Wenner asking him to posthumously induct John Lennon as a solo artist in 1994.

• McCartney says Wenner promised he would be inducted the following year, but that didn't happen.

What they said: "I said, 'Okay.' And I bought the deal," McCartney told Vanity Fair. "Next year came around ..."

• McCartney was finally inducted as a solo artist in 1999.

Yes, but: It hasn't stopped McCartney from working with the Rock Hall. He inducted Ringo Starr in 2015 and the Foo Fighters in 2021.

• Both inductions took place in Cleveland.

Fun fact: The Rock Hall's Wings display arrives nearly 26 years after the museum debuted "Lennon: His Life and Work," a massive exhibition focused on McCartney's late writing partner.
