Angie Stone, the Grammy-nominated R&B singer, tragically died in a car accident near Montgomery, Alabama, on March 1, 2025, at the age of 63. She was traveling in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van with her bandmates returning to Atlanta after a performance when the van lost control, flipped over, and was subsequently hit by a freight truck. Stone was the only fatality in the accident; she was thrown from the vehicle and trapped beneath it, which led to her death. She was a renowned artist known for hits like "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" and "Wish I Didn't Miss You" and had a significant impact on the neo-soul and R&B genres over her four-decade career.
Her death came less than a year before the death of her former partner, D'Angelo, who passed away in October 2025 from cancer. They shared a son, Michael Archer Jr., who has faced the profound loss of both parents within the same year.
