Sir George Martin, who was widely known as the Fifth Beatle, passed away at the age of 90. One of the most brilliant and famous producers ever, Martin will be most remembered for his collaboration with the Beatles, their work together changing popular music forever.
Martin died “peacefully at home” in England, according to his manager Adam Sharp. It was, however, Beatles drummer Ringo Star who broke the sad news on Twitter, saying Sir George ‘will be missed.’
