Herbie Hancock Statement on the Passing of Michael Jackson

This is an unbelievable tragedy, first of all for his family, for his devout fans, for the world of music and for the world of culture.

Michael was one of the most diligent creators. His passion flowed through every pore of his being. His sense of invention was unparalleled. Who else could have thought of the moonwalk and who else could have created such a unique sense of movement in dance. His contribution to music and music videos; Off the Wall, Thriller, We are the World are expressions of his consummate talent. Above all his compassion for serving humanity and desire to uplift and encourage excellence are etched in his legacy. He changed the world.
