Legendary Musician Quincy Jones Laid to Rest in Private Ceremony
Los Angeles, CA - Quincy Jones, the iconic 28-time Grammy-winning musical composer, performer, arranger, and producer, was honored in a private funeral ceremony in Los Angeles, a week following the announcement of his death at the age of 91. The intimate gathering included Jones' seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members, though the location of the ceremony was not disclosed to the public.
In a statement released to The Associated Press, the Jones family expressed their profound gratitude for the outpouring of love and condolences from fans and friends around the globe. "We are enormously grateful for the love that the world has shown," the statement read.
Quincy Jones passed away peacefully at his home in Bel Air, surrounded by his family on November 3. His illustrious career, spanning over seven decades, saw him collaborate with music legends including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Ray Charles, among others. His work on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album remains a landmark in music history.
Plans for a larger public memorial are currently underway, with details to be shared at a later date. Rashida Jones, one of Quincy's daughters, took to social media to pay tribute to her father, describing him as a "giant," "icon," and a "culture shifter" whose work was a channel for his immense love.
"His music was love, and he made everyone he met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy," Rashida wrote, reflecting on her personal memories and the profound impact her father had on her life.
