The renowned soul and R&B musician D'Angelo has died at the age of 51 due to pancreatic cancer, according to a US report.
Si D'Angelo, na ang tunay na pangalan ay Michael D'Angelo Archer, ay naging tanyag sa mga kantang “Brown Sugar” at “Untitled (How Does It Feel)”. Ang huli ay mas nakilala dahil sa kanyang kontrobersyal na music video kung saan umani siya ng malaking kasikatan.
He is known as one of the pioneers of the neo-soul movement and has received Grammy Awards, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Album for his album “Voodoo” in 2000.
Many artists and fellow musicians paid their respects and tributes to him. According to the family, D’Angelo was “a light that brought joy to us, but now rests after his courageous battle with illness.”
Si D’Angelo, na ipinanganak sa Virginia, ay kilala rin sa kanyang pagiging pribado at bihirang maglabas ng bagong musika, ngunit bawat proyekto ay mataas ang pagtanggap ng fans at kritiko. Sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging tahimik, malaki ang iniambag niya sa musika at sa kulturang R&B at soul.
