July 15, 200818 yr The widows of former Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison led an all-star tribute on Saturday to Sir George Martin, the producer who molded the Fab Four into the world’s most important pop music force. Martin, 82, received the Grammy Foundation Leadership Award, in recognition of his humanitarian and charitable efforts, during a dinner and concert featuring the likes of singer Tom Jones and rock guitarist Jeff Beck. Coldplay’s Chris Martin was in attendance. Sir George Martin had this to say… “I’ve listened to quite a few records,” Martin said, “but I’m not terribly happy with the current pop music. I like Coldplay. Chris Martin is excellent, you know. He has to be with a name like that. I like Radiohead. So I’m pretty provincial, and English, in my taste, I guess.” Chris Martin of Coldplay and President/CEO of the Recording Academy Neil Portnow at the GRAMMY Foundations Starry Night Honoring Sir George Martin at the University of Southern California on July 11, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

July 15, 200818 yr i agree with you chavi Chris is great and Martin name is really great for the great people in the world.
July 16, 200818 yr ahhhhh, this makes me SO happy! :D my two favorite bands, the beatles and coldplay :nice: and chris looks particularly gorgy...
July 17, 200818 yr I'm sure Chris must have felt like being in a kindergarten, sharing the same table with the legendary Sir George Martin who's worked with The Beatles which are still a big inspiration and obviously number one band of all times for Coldplay.
