While fans and family are all preparing to say their final farewells to the late King of Pop, Quincy Jones says he won’t be attending the funeral for Michael Jackson. Quincy is a close friend and a producer for the singer. He confesses that he has spent too much of his life mourning the deaths of his friends, saying “I won’t go to any more funerals as long as I live. I can’t handle it.” I’m pretty certain that it’s a very difficult time for everyone and I hope that Quincy and everyone else of Michael’s family and friends can find a way to grieve.
The producer of “Thriller”, the late pop idol’s most famous song and perhaps one of the most famous music pieces in the world, has recently stated that he feels as if a part of himself died together with Michael Jackson. Quincy Jones had the following to say about the demise of “the king of pop”: “I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. To this day, the music we created together on ‘Off The Wall,’ ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’ is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all. talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother and part of my soul has gone with him.” As always, it seems Michael Jackson had friends in high places and he will probably continue to do so. Even though dead, no one is likely to forget “Thriller” anytime soon.
Who would have thought that a man as big as Quincy Jones can get hauled into small claims court? It’s kind of embarrassing. An audio production guy claims he did $3,100 worth of work for the icon for a two week period last summer and got nothing for it. To put this in its proper context, Q has reportedly pulled in $220,000,000. This small claim is either further evidence of a deep recession or just another bogus lawsuit against a rich celebrity. For the record, I think Quincy spends more than three grand a day on the person who lights his cigars.
