Quincy Jones, who broke through musical and business barriers during more than six decades as a performer, composer, arranger and media executive, has died. He was 91.
Jones died Sunday night at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his family, according to a statement from his publicist Arnold Robinson. No cause of death was given.
"He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly; we take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created,” Jones’s family said in the statement. "Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.”
