Quincy Jones has been awarded $9.42 million ($9,423,695) after a trial that ended with a Los Angeles jury finding in the producer's favor in a royalties dispute with Michael Jackson's estate, Variety reports.




The lawsuit, which Jones filed in 2013, stemmed from Jones' claim that he was owed royalties for a series of projects that were released after Jackson died, including the music used in two Cirque du Soleil productions and music featured in the This Is It concert film. Jones said he was owed $30 million.
