A host of stars including Brian Wilson, Brandon Flowers, Weird Al Yankovic and many more paid tribute to The Beatles' George Harrison this weekend, covering the icon's tracks for George Fest. Watch footage from the event below.

Celebrating the musical legacy of the late Beatles guitarist, the one-off concert coincided with the release of new boxset George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-75 which is out now through Universal Music.

Taking over The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, the festival saw major artists cover tracks from Harrison's discography, with Killers frontman Flowers taking on 'Got My Mind Set On You', whilst Brian Wilson played 'My Sweet Lord' and Weird Al reworked 'What Is Life?'

Watch footage from George Fest below:

US television host Conan O'Brien was also in attendance after championing the concert earlier this month on his Late Night show, with the likes of Paul Simon, Dhani Harrison and Norah Jones all covering tracks over consecutive nights last week.
