"I can't find the words right now to express how deeply saddened I am by Michaels passing," he wrote on his Web site. "We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music.""He has been an inspiration to
multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones."
Lance- "Michael was a huge supporter of my career but more importantly he was a good friend, had the biggest heart and it was an honor and pleasure to be able to work with him and know him. There will never be another Michael Jackson, my thoughts and prayers are with his family. … He was a huge hero of mine musically. He will definitely be missed. He was a great man. Wow"
