GEORGE MARTIN

Sir George Martin, often know sometimes as the fifth member of the hit band The Beatles, passed away slightly unnoticed at the old age of 90. He was an essential member who contributed to the band’s success early on by signing them with their first record label, Parlophone Records, back in the 60s. Various friends and acquaintances offered tributes to Martin.

Beatles member Paul McCartney wrote on his website that Martin was a true gentleman, friend, and second father to himself and to the whole group. Ringo Starr also took the time to share a short tribute by sharing a photo on social media and giving his thanks to the late producer. Various others also made tributes to him, the likes of which included Elijah Wood, Julian Lennon, and even bands such as Nickelback and Bastille. He will be missed to a high degree.
