Clive Davis‘ funeral will take place as a private ceremony for friends and family in New York on Monday morning, and as a source tells The Hollywood Reporter, many of the biggest superstars he worked with over his six decade career will be in attendance.
The source says Bruce Springsteen, Kenny G, Dionne Warwick, Barry Manilow, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys will all participate in the ceremony, though they didn’t give any further details.
Davis, one of the most influential figures in the history of the music business, died on Monday at 94 after suffering an age-related illness. He’s survived by his children, Fred, Lauren, Mitch and Doug; his grandchildren, Austin, Charlie, Matthew, Hayley, Harper, Sloane, Billie and Cody; two great-grandchildren; cousin Jo; and partner Greg Schriefer.
His death caused an outpouring of tributes from across the entertainment industry as dozens of artists, songwriters and other entertainment figures paid homage to the famed record executive. Davis had one of the most storied careers in the music business, starting as an attorney before he was appointed head of Columbia Records. He later founded Arista Records, where he signed the likes of Manilow, Warwick, Carly Simon, the Grateful Dead and most notably Whitney Houston. By 2000, he founded J Records, where he signed acts like Keys and Rod Stewart.
