Mike Nesmith commented "Today is a sad, sad day. Rest in peace Davy Jones…"
Micky Dolenz wrote "I am in a state of shock; Davy and I grew up together and shared in the unique success of what became The Monkees phenomena. The time we worked together and had together is something I'll never forget. He was the brother I never had and this leaves a gigantic hole in my heart. The memories have and will last a lifetime. My condolences go out to his family".
