Legendary music producer Quincy Jones has passed away at the age of 91

His publicist Arnold Robinson announced: “Tonight, it is with full but broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones.

“And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the amazing life he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Jones worked on the King of Pop’s iconic albums Thriller, From the wall And Badplus wrote and produced the classic charity single We are the world.

The producer narrowly avoided being murdered by Charles Manson’s cult because he forgot he was supposed to go to Sharon Tate’s house there on the night of the murders, and survived a brain aneurysm in 1974.

Jones married three times, to high school girlfriend Jeri Caldwell for nine years until 1966, to Ulla Andersson from 1967 to 1974 and to Peggy Lipton, whom he married the same year as his second divorce before they separated in 1989.

He had seven children in total: daughter Jolie, 69, with Caldwell, daughter Martina, 58, and son Quincy Jr., 55, with Andersson, and two daughters, Kidada, 50, and Rashida, 48, with Lipton.

He also has Rachel, 59, from a short relationship with Carol Reynolds and Kenya, 31, with Nastassja Kinski.

Quincy spoke out about fatherhood in 2018, saying he sees inspiration in his own father, Quincy Delight Jones, Sr.

On Father’s Day, he wrote on Facebook, “I am forever grateful to my father for working so hard to keep a roof over our heads in the 1930s, during the Great Depression.” He never gave up on us.

“I’m telling you, it’s up to you to create the kind of relationship you want to have with your child, and it’s never too late to start.”

Quincy added, “Never underestimate your role in your child’s life. I learned that later in life, but I’m so glad I finally figured it out because being a father is without a doubt one of the greatest blessings .”
