Angie Stone tragically handed away in a automobile crash
Beyoncé is paying her respects to the late Angie Stone following the R&B legend’s tragic passing.
Shortly after Stone’s household confirmed her loss of life in a automobile crash on March 1, Queen Bey shared a tribute on her web site alongside a black-and-white picture of the singer.
“Thank you for your voice, your strength and your artistry,” the message learn. “Your incredible legacy will live on forever. Rest in peace, Angie Stone.”
Stone was travelling along with her band from Alabama to Atlanta when their van flipped and was struck by a semi-truck round 4 a.m. on February 28.
A trailblazer in R&B and hip-hop, Stone first made her mark within the late Seventies as a part of the pioneering feminine rap trio The Sequence. She later launched a profitable solo profession, incomes a number of high 10 R&B albums and charting hits like Brotha and Want I Didn’t Miss You.
Stone and Beyoncé crossed paths professionally in 2003 after they each appeared in The Combating Temptations.
As Beyoncé continues making ready for her Cowboy Carter Tour, her tribute serves as a reminder of Stone’s lasting impression on music.
The Texas Maintain ‘Em singer not too long ago received album of the 12 months on the Grammys, together with two nation awards, making historical past within the style — simply as Stone did many years earlier than.
