Report: GRAMMY-Winning Neo-Soul Singer D’Angelo Dead at 51 After Private Cancer Battle

In breaking news, it’s being reported Michael Eugene Archer – better known as the GRAMMY Award-winning Neo-Soul singer D’Angelo – has passed away at age 51.
Family, friends, and fans have already begun flooding social media with tributes of the fallen star after reports surfaced he succumbed to a private battle with pancreatic cancer.
Best known for hits like ‘Brown Sugar,’ ‘Lady,’ ‘Cruisin,’ and ‘How Does It Feel,’ D’Angelo – alongside big names like Erykah Badu, Maxwell, Lauryn Hill, and Jill Scott – is credited with the rebirth of Soul music (a subgenre of R&B) in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Archer is survived by three children – a daughter and two sons – one of whom he shared with fellow music icon Angie Stone who passed away in March.
The story is developing.
