"God doesn't make mistakes, but this hurts like hell. Rest up my friend," he wrote.

"I was graciously envious of your style and your swag... I was also in pure awe of your talents... roaming around on each instrument, displaying your expertise in every note and every song... That's why today real tears run down my face," Jamie Foxx concluded.
