Music Icon Quincy Jones’ Cause of Death Confirmed – And Yes, He Was an Absolute Legend

Buy Me A Coffee

In somber news, music titan Quincy Jones has left the building. The 91-year-old virtuoso and walking Grammy magnet passed away earlier this month, and we’ve just gotten confirmation on the cause. Spoiler alert: he didn’t just “moonwalk” off the mortal coil – it was pancreatic cancer.

When Legends “Drop the Mic” for Good
It’s hard to believe that Quincy, a man whose musical collaborations basically defined pop, jazz, and soul, isn’t with us anymore. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health released his death certificate, and TMZ swooped in to report on it (because of course they did). Pancreatic cancer got him, and the certificate reportedly said, “No other contributing factors.” Nope, nothing but the Big C.

Quincy wasn’t just a music legend; he was also a father of seven – and no, they weren’t all named “Quincy Jr.” His children, who range from actors to music producers to models, are Rashida Jones (yep, the Parks and Rec one), Kidada Jones, Kenya Kinski-Jones, Quincy Jones III (who apparently went with “Q3” for the nickname), Jolie Jones Levine, Martina Jones, and Rachel Jones. And let’s not forget his trio of grandkids, who will forever be able to say, “Yeah, my grandpa made Thriller – that Thriller.”

The Grammy Hoarder and Hitmaker Extraordinaire
Quincy Jones didn’t just work with music legends; he practically invented them. With 28 Grammys to his name, he was basically an awards magnet with an uncanny talent for transforming studio sessions into music history. Need proof? He produced Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which racked up an unheard-of eight Grammys in one night. He collaborated with Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie, Aretha Franklin, and practically every other artist your parents still jam to on road trips.
