Stone’s children issued a statement shortly after their mother’s death: “The children of R&B singer Angie Stone and the children of her extended family want to thank everyone for their love and good wishes during an extremely difficult time.
“Angie is a role model for black women and girls everywhere. Angie also loves black people and named her number one “Brotha”. Angie Stone is a pioneer in rap music, starting with a female rap trio, “sequence” and ultimately leading to her solo career and defining a new soul. Diamond and Michael and Angie’s family all want to thank you for reaching out, but also ask you to respect their privacy because they grieve for losing their beloved mother.”
Her children also revealed that Stone’s return to school was focused on her religious beliefs.
It continues: “Angie Stone believes that her foundation Angel Stone Foundation gives back to fans of the community.” “Recently, Angie also attended college at university. Her love for God and her faith has made her deeply eager to share her faith in God and bring more people to Christ.”
Sources close to Allhiphop, who worked with the Stone team, confirmed that she and nine other band members were involved in a fatal accident while returning home from Alabama, who performed Friday night (February 28). Stone is 63 years old.
