Tributes continue to pour in for Sir George Martin, ‘The Fifth Beatle’, who died peacefully yesterday (March 8) at his home. He was 90 years old.
As reported earlier, Beatle Ringo Starr thanked Martin for “all your love and kindness” and wished him “peace and love”.

Said Ronson: “Thank you Sir George Martin: the greatest British record producer of all time. We will never stop living in the world you helped create.”
Sir Paul McCartney,who worked with Martin as a Beatle but also on later work including 1982 solo album Tug Of War, said: “I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me.
“HE WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND LIKE A SECOND FATHER TO ME.”
