Singer Angie Stone has died. She was 63.
The “No More Rain” songstress’ daughter, Diamond Stone, whose nickname is Ladi Diamond, announced her death via Facebook on Saturday.
“My mommy is gone,” the 41-year-old wrote alongside several crying emojis.
Angie’s spokesperson, Deborah R. Champagne, told TMZ that the Sequence hip-hop member had left a concert in Montgomery, Ala., when she got into a car accident and was killed early Saturday.
Champagne shared that the soul singer’s death has left her family and friends devastated.
The “More Than a Woman” singer shared Diamond with her ex-husband, Rodney Stone. She also had a 27-year-old son, Michael Archer, with D’Angelo.
Reps for Angie weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
One week before her death, Angie took to Instagram to promote her performances in Alabama on Feb. 28 and Baltimore on March 1.
“We’re booking tours and a lot of stuff is going on that I just don’t want to let out of the bag just yet, but you can see there is a big grin on my face,” the “Rain Down” singer teased in a video.
Angie, however, shared her big plans have to do with television, movies, tours and other artists.
“There is a lot of projects … we’re getting back in the mix,” she added.
The “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” songstress skyrocketed to fame in 1979 when she joined the all-women trio, The Sequence, with Cheryl Cook and Gwendolyn Chisolm.
The music icons were signed by Sugar Hill Records and released several records from 1979 to 1985.
In the 1990s, Angie started her own solo career and released her 1999 album “Black Diamond.”
Eventually, she expanded to movies and appeared in the 2002 comedy “The Hot Chick” and the 2014 film “Ride Along.”
