It was only in March 2025 that his former partner and the mother of his son, Angie Stone, also passed away.
Angie, much like D’Angelo, was a legend in the game, with her track ‘No More Rain’ still getting radio play to this day.
In a very tragic passing, she was killed in a car crash in Alabama, aged 63.
Now, just 7 months on, their son Michael Archer II, who was named after the ‘Brown Sugar’ singer, has lost both of his parents.
He shared a statement to the fans who were sending him condolences, which has allowed the world insight into how he is feeling.
Michael wrote: “I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers during these very difficult times, as it has been a very rough and sad year for me, I ask that you please continue to keep me in your thoughts as it will not be easy, but one thing that both my parents taught me was to be strong, and I intend to do just that."
Angie dated D’Angelo in the 90s for four years before their split, with Michael being their only son.
D’Angelo had been battling pancreatic cancer, with him believed to have been battling for a while, him reportedly being in the hospital for months prior, and in hospice two weeks prior to his death.
This news is very tragic, and fans are heartbroken for both D’Angelo but also his son.
