The music world is mourning the loss of D’Angelo, the famous singer, who has died at the age of 51. His family shared that he passed away on Tuesday after fighting cancer.

His family said that his light “has dimmed,” but they are thankful for the wonderful music he left behind. They have asked for privacy during this sad time and have invited fans to remember him and his songs.
RCA Records, the company that released D’Angelo’s music, said they are very sad about his death. They remembered him as a talented person who mixed different kinds of music, like soul, funk, and jazz. He released three albums that many people loved, and he won many awards for his work.
D’Angelo’s music played a big part in the neo-soul movement of the 1990s. He was one of the first to bring together different styles of music.
