Jalen Hurts posted a tribute to the Eagles quarterback’s favorite musician Frankie Beverly on X after Beverly’s family confirmed his passing on Wednesday at the age of 77.

“His timeless music, his powerful words, and his lasting impact. I am devastated to hear of this,” Hurts wrote. “My prayers are with the Beverly family and the many Frankie fans around the world! His legacy will live on forever. Rest in peace my friend. Long live Frankie”

Beverly, a Philadelphia native, was “by far” Hurts’ favorite musician, he said in a 2023 interview with GQ. Hurts, who grew up listening to Beverly thanks to his mother, performed “Before I Let Go” during Eagles’ rookie karaoke in 2020 and included Beverly and Maze on his Go-To Songs Apple Music playlist. Beverly’s songs are a staple in the Eagles locker room, thanks to Hurts.

During Beverly’s final concert in July at Fairmount Park, Hurts came onstage to present him with flowers and talked about what Beverly and his music meant to him.

“There’s probably a lot of people in this audience who are like, ‘What is Jalen doing here? This is way out of his time,'” Hurts, 25, said onstage. “But I was just raised the right way, and when I tell you Frankie Beverly and Maze have a song for every emotion — ‘Joy and Pain,’ ‘We Are One,’ ‘Golden Time of Day,’ ‘While I’m Alone,’ it just goes on and on.

“I am so grateful for the person you have been to me through your music and what you have done to inspire me to keep going, to persevere, to be thankful, to appreciate my loved ones, the people around me and great music. I want to say on behalf of Philly, everyone here in this community, we want to thank you.”
