Rev. Al Sharpton, stated: "Many ridiculed him. It is amazing to see how many people are now praising him, not even close to him in recent years, that he despised. In our last conversation a few months ago, when I teased him I would go to England to see him run again, he talked about how many people would see him. I told him he never lost his fans."
Quincy Jones, music producer with Jackson on Thriller, said: "I am completely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news."
