In a statement, his family said their hearts were 'full but broken', and that there would 'never be another like him'.

Quincy Jones, the US music titan who worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and countless other artists, has died at the age of 91. Jones' publicist, Arnold Robinson, says he died on Sunday night at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family. "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.

" In the late 1950s he went on US government-sponsored tours around the world, and later led his own band through Europe. In the early 1960s he took a job at Mercury Records in New York, becoming one of the first Black executives at a white-owned record company. Throughout his music career, which spanned more than 65 years, there was very little Jones did not do. He was a trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, composer, producer and winner of 27 Grammy Awards.
