Private Funeral Planned for D'Angleo


Two weeks ago neo-soul singer / songwriter D'Angelo passed away age 51 after a bout with pancreatic cancer [click here if you missed that].

A private funeral is scheduled for this weekend...

From AllHipHop
D’Angelo’s private celebration of life in Richmond will feature The Roots, Stevie Wonder and John Mayer, with a tribute letter from Barack Obama and a public memorial planned for 2026.
AllHipHop has learned exclusively of a private celebration of life for D’Angelo taking place Saturday (November 1) in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia.
The intimate service, described as a family-centered gathering, will include a private viewing followed by a burial ceremony. The event will be closed to the public.
Sources close to the planning tell AllHipHop the lineup may expand to include other close collaborators, who were deeply influenced by D’Angelo’s artistry.
Fans will have their chance to pay respects at a public memorial planned for next year, sources confirmed. That larger event will likely celebrate D’Angelo’s musical evolution and lasting influence with performances, visuals and footage spanning his decades-long career. Official details will be revealed later.

I'm willing to bet the public service will never happen, or it'll become a paid concert instead.
