Legendary musician Quincy Jones has died. He was 91. He died on Sunday, Nov.3 at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his family.

Here are the best Halloween costumes from your favorite country music stars:

1.  Blake Shelton was dressed up as a turtle.  (Blake SHELL-ton, get it?).  And, Gwen Stefani was Snow White.

2.  Jason Aldean and Brittany went as Brennan and Dale from “Step Brothers”.

3.  Kelsea Ballerini and her boyfriend Chase Stokes went as Sandra Dee and Danny Zuko from “Grease”.

4.  Kane Brown went as Beetlejuice and his wife went as Wednesday Addams.

5.  Thomas Rhett and his family went as the characters from “Inside Out”.

6.  Jordan Davis and his family went as the cast of “Toy Story”.

7.  And Jon Pardi and his family probably saved the most time and money by just going as ghosts with sunglasses.

Willie Nelson’s new album “Last Leaf on the Tree” came out Friday.  It’s the 76th solo album of his career, and 153rd album overall.  He’s been releasing new music pretty much non-stop since the early ’60s.  He said he’s not planning to kick the bucket anytime soon.  “I’m not worried about [dying].  I don’t feel bad.  I don’t hurt anywhere.  I don’t have any reason to worry about [it].” He said he doesn’t know anybody “who’s lived forever,” but he takes pretty good care of himself.  He feels like he’s in good shape physically, but joked that “mentally . . . that’s another story.” His next album . . . number 154 . . . might not be too far off.  The new one came out, and he said his next one is already finished and in the can.

Bailey Zimmerman has surprised his grandma with something that EVERY grandma has been dying for:  A CADILLAC. He posted a photo of them together on Instagram, and captioned it:  “Happy Birthday to the sweetest soul I know.”  The balloons in the photo say “74,” but Bailey says she’s actually 77, he just got the wrong ones.

Margot Robbie and her husband welcomed a baby boy.

That Netflix special where Jamie Foxx finally opens up about his medical emergency will premiere on December 10th.

Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A cop in Southern California is being hailed a hero after saving a kid from an oncoming train last month.  The mom’s SUV got stuck on the tracks, and she was trying to get her two kids out before the train hit.  Deputy Michael Castaneda happened to end up behind her car while driving home from work. He ran in and scooped up one of her kids just four seconds before the train hit.  And the mom got her other kid out with less than a SECOND to spare.  The SUV got nailed, but everyone’s okay.

2.  A guy in Missouri got a call from his wife telling him he forgot his lunch at home.  So he popped into a store to grab something to eat, bought a lottery ticket, and won $3 MILLION.

3.  A six-year-old girl in England named Ada Hawkes had a happy Halloween thanks to a bunch of neighbors who learned sign language for her.  Over half of the people in her neighborhood took time out to learn some simple phrases, like “trick or treat” and “you look spooky.”
