Grammy-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone has died at the age of 63 following a car crash in Alabama, her daughter, Diamond Stone, has confirmed.
“My mommy is gone,” Diamond shared in an emotional Facebook post.
According to media reports, Stone suffered fatal injuries when a van she was traveling in overturned early Saturday after a performance.
Stone, celebrated for hits like No More Rain (In This Cloud) and Wish I Didn’t Miss You, was a three-time Grammy nominee. Her career began in the 1970s as part of the pioneering female hip-hop trio The Sequence, best known for Funk You Up, which climbed to No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles chart.
Her daughter, who performs under the name Ladi Diamond, expressed her devastation on social media, describing herself as feeling “numb.” Just hours before, she had requested prayers for her family while traveling.
A spokesperson for the late artist told the BBC that Stone’s family had traveled to Montgomery, Alabama, and planned to release more details soon.
Guy Todd Williams, known as Rahiem from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, disclosed that approximately nine other passengers were in the van at the time of the accident.
“She left her indelible mark on the music industry, initially as a member of the legendary rap group Sequence,” Williams stated.
He confirmed that Stone was the only fatality in the crash.
The BBC has reached out to Montgomery police for additional details on the incident.
Beyond her contributions to music, Stone also found success in the film industry. She made her movie debut in The Hot Chick (2002), starring Rob Schneider, Rachel McAdams, and Anna Faris, and later appeared in The Fighting Temptations (2003) alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé.
