Fans were eagerly anticipating Angie Stone to take the stage this weekend. Instead, heartbreaking news has left them mourning an unexpected tragedy.
Grammy-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone died at 63 in a car crash on March 1. The accident occurred around 4 a.m. while she was returning to Atlanta from Alabama. Music producer Walter Millsap III revealed that Stone’s vehicle flipped and was hit by a big rig. While others survived, Stone did not.
Her daughter, Diamond, confirmed the news on Facebook, writing, “My mommy is gone,” followed by crying emojis.
