The world of neo-soul is still mourning two of its brightest lights. D'Angelo, the reclusive genius behind Voodoo, and Angie Stone, the powerhouse voice of Black Diamond, are both gone, leaving behind a love story as rich and complex as their music.
D'Angelo died on 14 October 2025, aged 51, following a private battle with pancreatic cancer, according to AP News. His passing came just seven months after Angie Stone's fatal car crash in Alabama on 1 March 2025, aged 63, per reports from The Guardian.
