\n\tSandbox Succession will handle all facets of music, publishing, NIL (name, image and likeness) licensing, hospitality and film and TV projects for the legend, who was revered for his crystalline, haunting voice and dramatic, vulnerable tunes such as \u201cOnly the Lonely,\u201d \u00a0\u201cCrying\u201d and \u201cIn Dreams,\u201d as well as the flirty \u201cOh, Pretty Woman.\u201d Renowned for his jet black hair and dark sunglasses, Orbison was also a member of Traveling Wilburys<\/a>, along with Bob Dylan<\/a>, Jeff Lynne<\/a> and Tom Petty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOrbison, who died in 1988 at age 52, has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame. In addition to winning five Grammys, he was recognized by the Recording Academy with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe the sons of Roy Orbison are very excited to work with Sandbox on continuing the legacy of our father,\u201d said West, Alex and Roy Jr. in a statement. \u201cSandbox, under the leadership of Jason Owen and Josh Matas, has developed into the world\u2019s premiere management agency and a company that we trust. We feel Roy Orbison\u2019s timeless body of work and Sandbox\u2019s modern capabilities are a perfect match.\u00a0 We can\u2019t wait to see \u2018The Big O\u2019 grow even bigger!\u201d<\/p>\n
