Sensational soul singer Angie Stone passed away on Saturday (March 1), according to TMZ. Deborah R. Champagne, the star’s publicist, confirmed to the outlet that the 63-year-old was involved in a car accident. The veteran performer was leaving Montgomery, Alabama, after a performance when the tragedy unfolded.

“The Breakfast Club” guest host Loren Lorosa spoke with Champagne and revealed that Angie was in a vehicle with her band members. “Angie Stone was the only person in the car who did not survive the accident,” she tweeted. The “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” vocalist was en route to Baltimore, where she was scheduled as a performer for the 2025 Food Lion CIAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament alongside Jeezy, Lloyd, Chrisette Michele and many more. Her publicist of 14 years last spoke with her at 9:12 p.m. on Friday (Feb. 28). Some time after, the sprinter that the artist and musicians occupied was overturned.

The beloved mother is survived by her two adult children, daughter Diamond Stone and son Michael D’Angelo Archer II, whom she shared with fellow neo-soul star D’Angelo.
