Legendary producer, Sir George Martin, who was the man behind most of The Beatles era-defining recordings, has died aged 90.
Sir George, who was the producer and arranger for the band, was a British treasure who signed The Beatles to a label contract when no one else would.
He produced
virtually all their songs and introduced arrangements into Yesterday and A Day in the Life.
Beatles drummer Ringo Starr shared the news on Twitter. He said: 'God bless George Martin peace and love to Judy and his family love Ringo and Barbara George will be missed.'
A Universal Music Group spokesperson confirmed Sir George's death, but details are not yet clear.
