SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - Throughout the day, when news spread of the death of Davy Jones, lead singer of "The Monkees," many wondered what his bandmates had to say about their late friend. Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith had this to say...

"Can't believe it…Still in shock…had bad dreams all night long. My love and prayers go out to Davy's girls and family right now."
- Micky Dolenz

"It is with great sadness that I reflect on the sudden passing of my long-time friend and fellow-adventurer, David Jones. His talent will be much missed; his gifts will be with us always. My deepest sympathy to Jessica and the rest of his family. Adios, to the Manchester Cowboy."

"All the lovely people. Where do they all come from? So many lovely and heartfelt messages of condolence and sympathy, I don't know what to say, except my sincere thank you to all. I share and appreciate your feelings," Nesmith continued. "But let's not get ahead of ourselves here." - Michael Nesmith

"Brady Bunch" star Maureen McCormick, aka "Marcia Brady," who famously shared an on-screen kiss with Davy Jones on the 70's sitcom is finally breaking her silence on the singer's death... telling TMZ, "Davy was a beautiful soul." McCormick tells TMZ, Davy "spread love and goodness around the world. He filled our lives with happiness, music, and joy." She adds, "He will live on in our hearts forever. May he rest in peace." Jones guest-starred on "The Brady Bunch" back in 1971, playing himself in an episode where Marcia tries to convince him to sing at her prom.
