Keith Richards paid respect to music royalty as The Rolling Stones icon attended Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday.

Richards, sang two songs with Willie: Waylon Jennings’ “We Had It All” and Billy Joe Shaver’s “Live Forever.”

Jack Johnson sang “Willie Got Me Stoned and Took All My Money” while smoke plumes were projected at the Bowl bandshell. Other attendees included Woody Harrelson, EmmyLou Harris, Willie’s sons, Lukas and Micah, Kris Kristofferson, Norah Jones and Rosanne Cash.

Marijuana was a common theme all night. Dave Matthews, who recalled meeting Willie Nelson 30 years ago at Farm Aid, shared the story of his first smoking session with Nelson. “When I thought it couldn’t go on any longer, it had only just begun,” said Matthews.

Besides Richards and Nelson, who do you consider musical royalty?
