This is the second time that Jones reacted positively on the tribute for his late father. The first one was during Lady Gaga's upbeat Bowie megamix for the Grammy's.
"Overexcited or irrational, typically as the result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused.' Damn it! What IS that word!?" he tweeted that time.
