George Martin, “the Fifth Beatle” who was behind the boards as producer for all of the legendary group’s studio albums during a career that spanned six decades, has died. He was 90. Ringo Starr confirmed Martin’s death in a tweet tonight but offered no details: Martin also worked on the music in the Beatles’ movies and with the individual band members after the band’s 1970 breakup. Among the many other acts he produced are Jeff Beck, Elton John, Gerry and the Pacemakers, America, Jimmy Webb, Cheap Trick, UFO and Celine Dion. Years later, he was a driving force behind Beatles Love, the popular Cirque du Soleil show that has been a Las Vegas mainstay for a decade.
