At about 4 a.m., on Saturday, March 1st the vehicle she was riding in back to Atlanta from Alabama “flipped over and was subsequently hit by a big rig,” music producer and Stone’s longtime manager Walter Millsap III told The Associated Press in an email. Everyone else in the cargo van survived except Stone, he said.
The Alabama Highway Patrol said in a news release that the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van turned over on Interstate 65 about 4:25 a.m. Saturday before being hit by a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia truck driven by a 33-year-old man from Texas.
Angie Stone was pronounced dead at the scene, the highway patrol said. The crash was about 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of the Montgomery city limits.
“Never in a million years did we ever expect to get this horrible news,” Angie Stone’s children, Diamond and Michael Archer, said in a statement shared by the SRG Group. “We are still trying to process and are completely heartbroken.”
Millsap added: “We are truly devastated by this unexpected and unfortunate tragedy and there are simply no words to express how we feel.”
Stone was scheduled to perform at the halftime show of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association men’s Championship basketball game on Saturday. CIAA Chaplain Pastor Jerome Barber called for a moment of silence at the game.
Stone’s daughter Diamond Stone, posted to her Facebook page about the passing of her mother on Saturday March 1, 2025.
Since the news of her passing has surfaced, so did a live IG video she recorded about 9 weeks ago. She dropped bombshell information about how has been researching her royalties and her record label, Universal Music Group has been stealing all of her royalties. Stone said she should’ve been able to retire from music 20 years ago but all of her royalties have been stolen, and she was in the process of pursuing legal action against the company. A clip from that live is posted below.
