READ QUINCY JONE’S REAX TO MICHAEL’S DEATH…
“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.Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s.
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.”

This is some sad news, but can we have a little respect for the man? Don’t you think that the picture of his dead body on a gurney is a bit tasteless. Lets have some respect for not only him, but his family also, especially the kids. No one wants to see photos like that on a already sad day.
