Brooke Shields: 'Overcome With Sadness'

"My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing." -- Brooke Shields (with Jackson, whom she briefly dated, at the American Music Awards in 1984)
