Iconic singer and songwriter D’Angelo has passed away.
After reports began to circulate on social media earlier this morning US time, a couple of significant voices including DJ Premier confirmed the news on their social media.
Back in May, the reclusive artist has dropped out of the Roots festival in Philly “due to a longer-than-expected surgical recovery.” He was later replaced by Maxwell. “Due to an unforeseen medical delay regarding surgery I had earlier this year, I’ve been advised by my team of specialist[s] that the performance this weekend could further complicate matters,” D’Angelo wrote on Instagram. “It is nearly impossible to express how disappointed I am not to be able to play with my brothers the Roots. And even more disappointed not to see all of you.”
We will update this article with more info when it becomes available.
