Former Australian Idol judge and Sony executive Jay Dee Springbett was farewelled yesterday just as he lived, surrounded by stars.
Idol stars Jessica Mauboy and Stan Walker, whose careers Springbett nurtured in his position of A&R Director for Sony Music Australia, sang the larger than life record executive off with ‘Nu Flow’ and then Mauboy sang the emotional ‘Gone Too Soon’.
Sony Chairman Denis Handlin gave the eulogy referring to Spingbett as “Outrageous. Unpredictable. Impulsive. Brilliant”.
Jay Dee Springbett died last week in his Sydney apartment. He was 36. An official cause of death has yet to be announced. He leaves behind two small children.
