D’Angelo’s Medical Journey Detailed: From Hospital To Hospice Before October 14

Renowned R&B and soul artist D’Angelo spent his last months hospitalized due to pancreatic cancer, as confirmed by a family insider. Born Michael Eugene Archer, he passed away on Tuesday, October 14, while receiving hospice care after an extended hospital stay. His 27-year-old son, Michael Jr., whom he shared with late R&B icon Angie Stone, was at his side during his final days. "His son had been with him in the hospital," the insider shared, expressing concern for Michael Jr., who experienced immense loss when his mother tragically died in a car accident shortly after his birthday. D’Angelo gained fame in the 1990s with his platinum debut album, Brown Sugar, which garnered four Grammy nominations. His 2000 release, Voodoo, soared to No. 1, winning two Grammys, including Best R&B Album. Despite his sex-symbol status, D’Angelo struggled with this image and preferred a life away from the limelight, ultimately becoming reclusive. He is survived by three children, and tributes from stars like Beyoncé and Lauryn Hill highlight his enduring influence.
