Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 26691, member: 2262"] Grammy-nominated rhythm and blues performer Angie Stone has passed away at age 63 following an automobile accident, according to information shared by her daughter. Diamond Stone conveyed the heartbreaking news through social media, stating her mother had departed. Reports indicate the celebrated vocalist suffered fatal injuries early Saturday when a vehicle transporting her overturned in Alabama after she had completed a performance engagement. The talented musical artist responsible for beloved tracks such as "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" and "Wish I Didn't Miss You" received three Grammy nominations throughout her distinguished career. She began her professional journey during the 1970s as part of The Sequence, an all-female hip-hop collective. Their signature composition, "Funk You Up," achieved considerable success, reaching number 15 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart. Her daughter, who performs under the professional moniker Ladi Diamond, expressed feeling emotionally detached following the tragic event. Previously, she had requested spiritual support for her family as she traveled. A representative speaking on behalf of the late performer confirmed family members had journeyed to Montgomery, Alabama, with plans to release additional details shortly. Rahiem from the pioneering rap ensemble Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five mentioned approximately nine additional passengers traveled alongside Stone during the unfortunate accident. He acknowledged her tremendous influence on the music industry, particularly through her early contributions to the groundbreaking rap group Sequence. According to his statement, Stone represented the only fatality resulting from the crash. Beyond her musical accomplishments, Stone enjoyed modest success in cinema, making her film debut through "The Hot Chick," a 2002 popular release featuring Rob Schneider, Rachel McAdams, and Anna Faris. She subsequently appeared alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyonce in "The Fighting Temptations" released during 2003. [/QUOTE]
