Celebs show love for Quincy Jones

Hollywood is mourning a musical icon.

Quincy Jones, the legendary producer who worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and more artists, died on Sunday, his publicist confirmed. He was 91.

Over 91 years a person can amass a pretty big friend circle and naturally Q’s had lots of famous friends.

Tributes quickly began pouring in from those who worked with Jones or were simply inspired by his music. LL Cool J remembered the producer as a “father and example at a time when I truly needed a father and example,” as well as a “mentor,” “role model” and “king.” The rapper previously said that Jones gave him “a lot of game and insight early in my career.”

“Music would not be music without you,” he wrote on Instagram. “My condolences to the entire family. I love you. Rest in the sweetest music eternally.”
