…a few words about Davy:

I am so saddened in my spirit to know that Davy Jones has died. He remains a hero to me. We will continue to pray for his family and closest friends.

We all admire his humor and generosity and TALENT. The records he made with the Monkees are some of the best records ever made.

I got to meet Davy a few years back, and felt privileged to tell him, “I honestly would not be playing music today , if it wasn’t for your influence.”

When I was a little kid, If someone asked me, “What do you wanna be when you grow up?”…well, I wanted to be Davy Jones. And I still dream.
