Just hours before she died, Grammy-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone performed for the last time at a Mardi Gras ball in Mobile on Friday evening.

Sparkling in a black suit, the 63-year-old singer, alongside band members, headlined the Mobile-Area Mardi Gras Association’s Grand Marshal’s Ball, which was held at the Mobile Convention Center on Water Street.

Isadore Sims, the association’s president, called her performance “nothing short of phenomenal” in a Facebook post on behalf of the association.

“Her talent captivated everyone in attendance, and her presence truly elevated the event,” Sims wrote on Saturday.

“Never could we have imagined that it would be the last time we would have the honor of witnessing her perform. The news of her passing has left us all deeply saddened, and we will always cherish the memories of her incredible talent and warm spirit.”

People who attended the Mardi Gras ball posted photos and videos of her performance to social media, expressing condolences to Stone’s family and expressing disbelief that they had witnessed her final performance.

“I am still in disbelief… on Friday night while attending my first ball ever I had the pleasure of watching Angie Stone performance,“ one attendee wrote.

”It’s crazy How as she spoke in between songs how she dealt with loss and how we don’t know the day nor the hour. To think her first stop on tour has come to be known her last one!“

“During this time of bereavement, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Angie’s family and loved ones,” Sims wrote.

“May you find comfort and strength in the loving memories you shared with her, and may her legacy continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to have known her.”

Stone performed hit songs Friday night, including her 2001 song “Brotha,” per videos posted to social media of the performance.

Stone had left Mobile and was on her way back to Atlanta when the Sprinter van she was in was involved in a crash in Montgomery County on Saturday morning around 4:25 a.m., per the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. The van had crashed and overturned on I-65 before a Freightliner Cascadia semi-truck crashed into it, ALEA said.

Stone, of Locust Grove, Ga., was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Never in a million years did we ever expect to get this horrible news,” Angie Stone’s children, Diamond and Michael Archer, said in a statement to the Associated Press. “We are still trying to process and are completely heartbroken.”

The van’s driver and seven other passengers were injured in the crash and transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery for treatment, per ALEA. Troopers with ALEA’s Highway Patrol are investigating the incident.

Stone was a three-time Grammy nominee and two-time winner of the Soul Train Lady of Soul award. She was a member of the all-female hip-hop trio The Sequence, which formed in 1979 in South Carolina and released notable single “Funk You Up,” which has been sampled by Dr. Dre and other artists since then. Her career as a solo artist blossomed in the 2000s, with hit songs like “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” and “No More Rain (In This Cloud).”
