Legendary musician, producer and entertainment titan Quincy Jones has died at the age of 91.
A statement shared by Mr Jones’ publicist confirmed the sad news on Monday evening, with his family saying there would “never be another like him”.
“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the statement read.
“Although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
