R&B star D'Angelo is still hospitalized at VCU Medical Center after a September
19 car crash in Powhatan County. At last report he was listed in critical condition.

D'Angelo, whose real name is Michael E. Archer, and Lynne Sellers were in a
Hummer SUV on Route 711 just west of Route 288 when the accident occurred.
Around 7:45 pm the Hummer ran off the right shoulder, crossed the road, ran off
the left shoulder and then slammed into a fence and flipped. D'Angelo was not
wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the car. He was airlifted to VCU
Medical Center. Sellers was wearing her seat belt and was treated for her
injuries and released.

D'Angelo is hospitalized under an assumed name ■

My God that's terrible. All my prayers to him and his family.

Hope he wasn't "under the influence".

Same here. That was the first thing that came to my mind.

Hope he will be fine.

Having said that, how can you not wear your seat belt?

You would think that it's drained into eveyone's mind to wear a seat belt in the car but there are a lot of hard heads out there and they are the ones that find out how hard their head really is when their car is flipped over on the side of the highway. Damn shame .

Hope he makes it out of this okay...

exactly. whenever i hear of someone getting killed or injured in an accident and they weren't wearing a seatbelt, it just makes me sick. how could you be so stupid??

I hope he gets back on his feet.

September 19th? Is this the first we've heard of it?

aww shit, we can't lose D, we just can't.

Ellie said:

i ain't heard anything about this till now...damn, has he fallen off the radar this hard?

I really hope he is okay.
I hope everyone prays for him!
Like everyone said, he should have been wearing his seat belt.
I hope this reminds everyone to wear their seat belts in the future.

exactly, i thought this was fake when I first read it, because I live in Richmond, VA and I hadn't heard a thing about this until I logged on today and saw this thread. But its true I guess, its on the website for Channel 6 news although it isn't in the Richmond Times Dispatch??? Very questionable.

Well it says he's in under an assumed name, so maybe it worked keeping the press away.

Get well soon my brutha.

He is trying to kill himself subconsciously. He needs some help.

My goodness. I hope he fights through this! We gotta have our 'Angelo!

Get well soon...

my brother has already lost one of his musical heroes recently with ODB.

C'mon now, you have no proof of even being able to make that statement and you shouldn't throw shit out there like that - bad karma.

hope he is ok.

My prayers...

what a shame

That's a fairly retarded statement to make.

I wish he´ll be fine again, he´s one of the most underrated artists out there. #
Some may think he´s overrated but I saw him in concert years ago and he´s one of the true keepers of soul and funk.
It´s a shame that he fell off the radar and got involved with drugs and stuff, he´s a very soulful musician.

Let´s pray he´ll recover from the accident and get his life in order.

I don't think so at all. When you are a known drug and alcohol abuser and you are driving around without a seatbelt, what other conclusion can u surmise?

Whats retarded is abusing your body and having a reckless disregard for your own wellbeing which D is obviously exhibiting. Think again my friend.
