Singer Angie Stone killed in car crash after leaving Alabama performance
(WGHP) — Singer-songwriter Angie Stone, who rose to fame as a member of the female hip–hop trio The Sequence, has died in a car crash, the Associated Press confirmed Saturday. She was 63. Music producer Walter Millsap III told AP Stone left a performance in Alabama early Saturday morning, and that the artist was riding in the back of a vehicle that 'flipped over and subsequently hit by a big rig.' Millsap told AP he learned the news from Stone's daughter, Diamond, and The Sequence member Blondy. Will Demi Moore be the first Best Actress from a horror film in 14 years? Following her days with The Sequence, Stone embarked on a solo career, releasing her debut album 'Black Diamond' in 1999. In 2001, Stone released her second album, 'Mahogany Soul,' which spawned the international hit single 'Wish I Didn't Miss You.' In addition to three Grammy Award nominations, Stone's accolades include two Soul Train Lady of Soul Award wins in 2000 and an Edison Award for her third album, 'Stone Love,' in 2004. On Friday night, Stone performed at the Mobile Area Mardi Gras Association's Grand Marshall's Ball, held at the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center in Mobile. As reported by Nexstar's WKRG in Mobile, the association released a statement following the news, saying in part: 'Angie's performance at the 2025 Grand Marshal's Ball was nothing short of phenomenal. Her talent captivated everyone in attendance, and her presence truly elevated the event. Never could we have imagined that it would be the last time we would have the honor of witnessing her perform. The news of her passing has left us all deeply saddened, and we will always cherish the memories of her incredible talent and warm spirit.' The AP reports Stone was scheduled to perform at the halftime show during the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association men's championship basketball game on Saturday. A moment of silence was held in Stone's honor at the game. The Associated Press contributed to this story. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
