Quincy Jones: Titan of music industry dies aged 91

Quincy Jones, the pioneering musician, record producer and music industry titan, has died aged 91.

His publicist Arnold Robinson said he passed away last night surrounded by his family at his home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. No cause of death was given.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’s passing,” the family – which includes his actor daughter Rashida Jones, who played Karen Filippelli in The Office – said in a statement. “And 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.”
