Jackson’s Closest Confidante Dies

Monday, September 22, 2008
By Roger Friedman

Michael Jackson’s great and loyal publicist, Bob Jones, passed away on Saturday. The word is he simply suffered a heart attack after returning from a bike ride. He was probably around 70 years old and had been associated with the Jacksons for 35 years.

It was Bob who guided Michael through his various scandals, from the marriages to Lisa Marie and Debbie Rowe to the Elephant Man’s bones, hyperbaric chambers, etc. And it was Bob who there for Michael during the Jordy Chandler episode.

But in the winter of 2005 when Michael was on trial for child molestation and conspiracy, the pop star let Jones be fired without severance or notice. Jackson just dumped him. This column was first to report what happened. The result was that Bob and writer Stacy Brown self published “Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask.” The book, which was hard for the public to find other than on amazon.com, told the real story of Jackson. It wasn’t pretty.

Bob testified at Michael’s trial just as the book was coming out. He had planned to really skewer Jackson, but once he saw his old employer he couldn’t do it. Jones’s testimony was a let down. But it also showed that his loyalties were stronger than Michael’s.

Jones’s death means Michael is now without his two closest advisors and surrogate fathers. Bill Bray was the other one, and he died a couple of years ago. Bob was a Southern gent with a big heart, a lot of style, and always some good gossip that he delivered with mischievous glee. Many people from the Motown world will mourn his death, as shall I. He was just a lovely fellow, the sane center of people who lived in the path of one hurricane after another.

ANOTHER MOTOWN LEGEND HAS PASSED: Publicist-author Bob Jones reportedly dies of heart attack.

September 19, 2008

On the heels of the death Tuesday of famed producer Norman Whitfield, another Motown legend has passed.

EUR has just learned that Bob Jones, who - for years - ran the label's PR department, died Saturday of a heart attack.

As of this posting, official details are not available. However, EUR was told by a source that Jones died in his garage after coming back from riding his bike.

After his long stint at Motown, in 1987 Jones left the lable to work with Michael Jackson at MJJ Productions. In 2004, the association went sour and he was terminated, according to Wikipedia.

In 2005, Jones, along with writer Stacy Brown published a very unflattering book about Jackson called "The Man Behind the Mask." It was promoted as a true insider's account because Jones had spent a total of 34 years with the superstar.
