Angie Stone dies at 63. The Grammy-nominated singer was killed in a rollover crash.
R&B singer Angie Stone died in a car crash early Saturday. She was 63.
Stone was traveling with members of her band from Mobile, Alabama to Atlanta when their van collided with a semi-truck on Interstate 65 about five miles south of Montgomery, according to police and her label.
The Mercedes Benz Sprinter flipped over on the road before it collided with the truck, Lt. Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency told USA TODAY.
Stone, who was a passenger in the van, was declared dead at the scene. Eight other passengers of the van were injured and transported to hospitals for treatment, Burkett said.
The Grammy-nominated singer rose to prominence in the 1970s as a member of female rap group The Sequence before a solo career that produced hits like "Wish I Didn't Miss You." She was also a member of the R&B trio Vertical Hold.
"Never in a million years did we ever expect to get this horrible news. Our mom is and will always be our everything. We are still trying to process and are completely heartbroken," Stone's children, Diamond Stone and Michael Archer, said in a statement delivered by her label, the SRG-ILS Group.
Stone had performed at a Mardi Gras event in Mobile, Alabama on Friday night, the Mobile-Area Mardi Gras Association said on Facebook.
"Angie's performance at the 2025 Grand Marshal's Ball was nothing short of phenomenal," the group said in a post. "We were truly saddened to hear of Angie's passing and our hearts go out to you all."
Fans and admirers posted tributes to X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, noting her songs "Brotha," an appreciation of Black men, and the theme for the TV show "Girlfriends."
While with The Sequence, Stone took part in producing "Monster Jam," a hit song that "helped define early Southern rap," wrote Ebony Magazine.
"A three-time Grammy nominee, Stone collaborated with music legends like D'Angelo, Prince, and Macy Gray, while also showcasing her acting talents in The Hot Chick and Chicago on Broadway," Ebony continued.
"Her contributions to R&B, soul, and hip hop will continue to inspire," Ebony added.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce have date night at Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final Game 4
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce have date night at Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final Game 4 Show Caption Hide Caption Taylor Swift masters: Singer owns her music catalog Taylor Swift announced on Instagram and her website she owns her music catalog. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are in their hockey era. Kelce, star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, traded in a football for a hockey puck on Thursday and traveled to Sunrise, Florida, for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. The duo was spotted walking to their suite at Amerant Bank Arena as nearby fans applauded. Kelce donned a red long-sleeve shirt and matching shorts, which he paired with a baseball cap and pair of white sneakers. Swift opted for an all-white, two-piece getup that she paired with white heeled boots and her signature red lip. STANLEY CUP FINAL, GAME 4: Live updates, score, highlights The power couple first broke the internet in September 2023 when Swift accepted Kelce's invitation to watch him play at Arrowhead Stadium after he watched her rock the same stadium during her wildly popular "Eras Tour." She was prominently featured during FOX's game broadcast while sitting next to Kelce's mother Donna in a suite. Swift and Kelce were later spotted leaving together in a convertible after the Chiefs' blowout win over the Chicago Bears, not only fueling dating rumors, but setting the entire internet on fire. When Swift is not touring the world or cheering on Kelce at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, the duo has frequently held date nights at various sporting events. Kelce and Swift attended the 2024 U.S. Open men's final alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes. One month later, the couple attended Game 1 of the ALCS between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. Swift was also at Kelce's side after the Chiefs' Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans in February. Swift previously starred in a commercial for the NHL's Nashville Predators in 2008. "Come on! Taylor Swift at a Predators game? You're crazy," the commercial says. Some find themselves thinking that nearly two decades later. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.
