Michael Jackson at age 13, the youngest member of the singing group Jackson Five, sings in his home in Encino, California

June 26, 2009

BURBANK, Calif.

The shocking death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, at age 50, surprised the world on Thursday – and the stars are sharing their grief.

===============================================

“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. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”
-- Quincy Jones, producer of “Off The Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad”

More friends’ memories… after the jump.
