Angie Stone, 'Wish I Didn't Miss You' Singer, Dies in Car Crash: 'Mommy Is Gone'

Angie Stone, considered one of the queens of neo soul and a member of the iconic hip hop trio the Sequence, died in an early-morning car crash on Saturday in Montgomery, Alabama.

Her daughter, performer Diamond, confirmed her death on Facebook, declaring, "My mommy is gone," and adding a row of crying emojis to her post.

Stone's rep later told TMZ the 63-year-old singer had just left a performance when the accident occurred.

WSFA covered a crash that appears to be the one that took Stone's life, posting images of a wreck. According to the outlet, the crash occurred around 7 a.m. local time and involved "a commercial vehicle."

Social media users identified the other vehicle involved as an 18-wheeler, but authorities have not yet confirmed details.

A tireless performer, Stone had just over a month ago joined Nicci Gilbert, Keke Wyatt, Chanté Moore and Monifah at the "Urban One Honors: Best in Black" event at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta.

Born December 18, 1961, in Columbia, South Carolina, a teenaged Stone first broke into the music scene as a founding member of the Sequence, an all-female hip-hop trio.

The rap group was the second act on Sugar Hill Records, and enjoyed a major hit with "Funk You Up" (1979).

After the band broke up in 1985, Stone sang with Mantronix, Vertical Hold, and Devox. She had songwriting credits on the first albums by her then boyfriend D'Angelo, with whom she had a son.

Stone came into her own with her 10 solo studio albums, starting with 1999's "Black Diamond," which came about after she was signed by music mogul Clive Davis. She named the album for her daughter, Diamond, with Rodney Stone.

It offered the R&B and adult-contemporary hits "No More Rain (in This Cloud)," "Life Story," and "Everyday."

Her next solo set, "Mahogany Soul" (2001), featured one of her most enduring hits, 'Wish I Didn't Miss You," her only gold single.

Along the way, Stone also acted, including in the comedy "The Hot Chick" (2002), "The Fighting Temptations" (2003) alongside Beyoncé, and as Mama Morton in Broadway's "Chicago" (2003).

She also made appearances on reality series that included "R&B Divas: Atlanta" (2013-2014).

Stone is survived by her two children.
