Angie Stone—Renowned Neo-Soul Singer & Member Of The Sequence—Killed In Horrific Car Crash

Angie Stone, renowned neo-soul singer and member of the pioneering Hip-Hop trio The Sequence, was killed in a car crash on Saturday morning (March 1).

A source close to AllHipHop who works with Stone’s team confirmed she and nine other band members were involved in the accident while traveling home from Alabama, where they had performed on Friday night (February 28). She was 63.

“I received a call from her team stating that Angie passed,” veteran promotor Van Silk later told AllHipHop. “I thought it was from her kidney dialysis which she was going through, but it was a bad vehicle accident with 9 people in the Sprinter van coming from a show in Alabama heading back to Atlanta. Angie will be missed especially by me because we will either text or call each other in the morning.

“I was working with her and her team on her YouTube channel, Angie Secrets Revealed. Next we were changing the concept to most likely call it a different name. We just finished a video in November called ‘Industry.’ There was so many things we discussed about doing. This day is sad as I’m still shocked.”

The word is starting to spread online, with many taking to Instagram and Twitter to express their condolences.
