Quincy Jones rushed to hospital
Legendary music producer Quincy Jones has been taken to hospital after suffering a medical emergency.
The 28-time Grammy winner, 90, experienced a “bad reaction to some food he ate”, a representative of his told TMZ.
"Out of an abundance of caution he called 911 for help,” the spokesperson said.
Page Six reported that paramedics were called to Jones’ Los Angeles home on June 17, where they transported him to the emergency room.
Jones got the all-clear from doctors and was soon released from his short stay in hospital.
Jones is most famously known as the producer of Michael Jackson’s all-time best-selling record, Thriller. The 90-year-old has also worked on records with various industry icons like Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and Rufus & Chaka Khan.
Jones also produced the hit television sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which saw actor Will Smith rise to fame.
This isn’t the first health scare endured by the composer.
In 1974, Jones suffered a life-threatening brain aneurysm which required rigorous operations, leaving him with six steel pins in his head.
"I actually had two brain aneurysms,” Jones revealed in his 2018 documentary titled, Quincy.
"So I guess I would classify as having some experience with trauma to the brain. Also, my mother suffered from mental illness," he added.
Jones was also rushed to hospital in 2015 citing chest pains and shortness of breath whilst in his Bel-Air home.
At the time, a spokesperson of Jones told Page Six, "Quincy is fine. He had some shortness of breath and in an abundance of caution, he went in for observation. He is fine though."
