Legendary record producer, songwriter and composer Quincy Jones was reportedly transported to hospital from his home on Saturday.

The Soul Bossa Nova star is said to have suffered a medical emergency over the weekend, but luckily one that later wasn’t deemed too serious.

His representative confirmed that the 28-time Grammy winner suffered a reaction to something that he had eaten.

Out of an abundance of caution, paramedics were called to his house.

He was taken to hospital to be properly checked over before later being released, according to TMZ.

His rep added to the publication that the music icon did not loose consciousness throughout the ordeal and that he was in ‘great spirits’.

Quincy, who is a father to seven including Parks and Recreation actress Rashida Jones, 47, has the most Grammys of any living artist after taking home his 28th accolade in 2019 for best music film for his documentary Quincy.

In his 70-year career the man has won across 10 categories, including producer of the year, album of the year and song of the year.

A gifted trumpet player in his early days, Quincy has also worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, wrote an Oscar-nominated score for Steven Spielberg’s film The Colour Purple and arranged music for singers like Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Quincy Jones’ rep for further comment.
