Dhani Harrison paid tribute to his father George on US TV last night, honouring the late Beatles guitarist with a touching performance on Conan. Watch it below.

Continuing a week-long tribute to the iconic guitarist, Dhani performed two songs from George's 1970 solo album All Things Must Pass, following in the footsteps of Beck and Paul Simon who had covered track's from Harrison's career earlier in the week. 

Whilst Simon took on 'Here Comes The Sun' and Beck reworked 'Wah Wah', Dhani decided to take on lesser known tracks from his father's back catalogue, performing 'Let It Down' and 'The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)'.

Watch Dhani Harrison's performance on Conan below:

This series of commemorations are in conjunction with the release of George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-1975, a box set out now which features all six of Harrison's solo albums along with a wealth of previously unreleased material.

Norah Jones will round off Conan's week of celebrations tonight (26 September), with another Harrison cover expected from the songstress.
