Legendary producer and songwriter Quincy Jones has died, aged 91.

His publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed he had died at his home last night (November 3) surrounded by his family, according to Sky News.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family 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.”
