Neo-soul pioneer Angie Stone dies at 63 in a highway accident, prompting heartfelt tributes from music legends and cultural icons.

A fraudulent GoFundMe campaign claiming to support the legacy of Grammy-nominated singer Angie Stone has been shut down after raising more than $12,000.

Lightfoot said Stone was a great performer, but an even better person. “Angie was a soulful spirit and she will be immensely missed,” Lightfoot said. Stone was leaving Mobile and headed back here to Atlanta when the incident happened. The incident remains under investigation.

The Neo Soul singer was killed early Saturday morning when riding back into Atlanta from Alabama when the vehicle she was in was hit by a rig and flipped over.

The family of Angie Stone has released an official statement days after the R&B singer was tragically killed in a car accident. According to Atlanta News First, her daughter Diamond, son Michael, and extended family shared a message through Atlanta-based Weems Firm and requested that fans keep the musician’s “legacy alive.”

Singer Angie Stone was involved in a crash around 4 a.m. local time Saturday while driving to Atlanta from Alabama.
