One of the Traveling Wilburys, but which one? I remember George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne as the group members. No idea beyond that except you asked who "was" Nelson Wilbury, so I'll guess he was Harrison, Orbison, or Petty, who are all dead.

George Harrison?

...Jeff Lynne is still performing as 'Jeff Lynne's ELO' and up until the pandemic he was touring and drawing huge crowds. He, along with Brian Setzer, employ huge numbers of musicians for their stage shows.
