The legendary singer-songwriter Angie Stone will be celebrated in a series of heartfelt memorial services, with multiple opportunities for fans, friends, and family to honor her extraordinary life and musical legacy. Following her tragic passing in a car accident last weekend, two separate ceremonies have been planned to remember and honor the iconic artist: one in Atlanta on Friday, March 14, and another the next day in Columbia, South Carolina—Angie’s hometown. These services will not only pay tribute to Angie’s immense contributions to music and culture but also feature an impressive guest list of celebrities and performers who will share in the celebration of her life.
A Star-Studded Celebration
Among the many talented performers and speakers set to take part in Angie Stone’s memorial services are a host of big names from the entertainment world, including Tyler Perry, Kirk Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Keke Wyatt, Tamela Mann, Y’Anna Crawley, Musiq SoulChild, Q. Parker, and Stout. These artists and friends of Angie will honor her legacy with heartfelt tributes and musical performances.
The public memorial in Atlanta will provide an opportunity for fans and the public to celebrate Angie’s life, while the more intimate ceremony in South Carolina will allow her loved ones to gather privately and remember the artist in a personal setting. Both ceremonies will be a reflection of Angie’s impact on the music world, as well as the deep love and admiration she inspired among her colleagues, friends, and family.
