TMZ has reported that Stone tragically passed away in a car crash early Saturday morning after leaving a performance in Montgomery, Alabama.
Deborah R. Champagne, Stone's spokesperson, told TMZ that she had spoken with Stone the night before, and the news has left her friends and family devastated.
A week earlier, Stone had shared on Instagram that she was scheduled to perform at the CIAA tournament in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, March 1.
On Saturday morning, the late singer’s daughter posted on Facebook, writing, "On the road, mind racing, keep me and my family in your prayers." Fans and supporters have since expressed their condolences in response.
