"A verbal contract was not worth the paper it was written on." Paul McCartney admits he was fuming after allegedly being lied to by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the '90s

Macca and Stella McCartney.

Paul McCartney was promised induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1995, and was less than impressed when Rock Hall co-founder Jan Wenner reneged on said promise.

McCartney was finally inducted into the prestigious Rock Hall in 1999, five years after his former Beatles bandmate John Lennon was inducted, and four years after he was promised he'd be inducted.
