George R.R Martin Pays Tribute To George Martin And Confirms He's Not Dead
Yesterday, thousands of people paid tribute to the "fifth Beatle" - music producer Sir George Martin who passed away at the age of 90 on March 8 (Tuesday). But while many were remembering the days of Love Me Do, there were thousands more panicking that fantasy series Game of Thrones would now never get finished - assuming it was George R.R Martin that was in fact dead.

Meanwhile, George R.R Martin continues to frustrate his own fans with a delay in the next printed instalment of his Game of Thrones franchise as season six of the TV adaptation gets ready to take over the books when it premiers in April.
