(October 14, 2025) We are devastated to inform SoulTrackers of the passing of 90s R&B great D’Angelo at the age of 51, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. In a statement provided to Billboard magazine, his family stated “The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life. After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home, departing this life today, Oct. 14, 2025.”
When D’Angelo arrived on the R&B scene in the mid-1990s, he didn’t just release an album; he sparked the neo-soul movement that took over modern music.
Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1974, D’Angelo grew up steeped in gospel and jazz. The son of a Pentecostal preacher, he showed musical promise almost from the time he could walk, teaching himself piano and immersing in the gospel traditions that would later shape his artistry.
