RIP George Martin
 

I was hoping someone would post this. George Martin, music producer known for working with the Beatles, has died. He was 90 years old. He left a legacy, and he will always be remembered for his work on their great albums from "Please, Please Me," to "Abbey Road."
I will surely miss him. Thank you for the music, George.

Not to make light of his death but I wonder how many people thought George R. R. Martin died when they saw this headline and were like, "NOOOOOO! He didn't finish it!".

I will be honest I had to look up who George "R. R. " Martin was. I saw notice of George's death the day afterward, but forgot to post it here being so busy that day. I am a big Beatles fan and know George is one of two people, the other being Brian Epstein, who honed the abilities of The Beatles and rose them to legendary proportions. George's mark on music is huge yet his role being in the studio makes him unsung. Thanks again, Mr. Martin for giving us an incredible sound that has resonated with contemporary audiences for decades and will do so for many more decades.

Yeah, at first I thought it was him who died, which made me think "Well, no point in ever reading A Song of Ice and Fire now".

I thought this was about Game of Thrones writer...

He also worked on the music in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die with Paul McCartney and Wings.

I totally came to check this thread out of curiosity. I was all set to start trumpeting "I TOLD YOU the guy was gonna croak before he ever finished the next book!"

GRRM is still alive. Wrong George Martin. As you were, gents... as you were.

RIP George Martín.
