Angela Bofill suffers stroke

Angela Bofil Suffers a Stroke


The "Angel of the Night," singer Angela Bofill is paralyzed on her left side following a stroke suffered on Jan. 10, her manager Rich Engel told us. Bofill is convalescing at Sutter Hospital in Santa Rosa, CA.

Bofill, 51, was released from intensive care on Sunday (Jan. 15) and will require speech and physical therapy, Engel said.

A benefit concert has been organized to pay her hospital bills, as Bofill did not carry health insurance. The show will be held on March 11 at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J. Similar events are being planned for Detroit and Los Angeles, Engel said.

We spoke with David Nathan of the R&B Foundation, who informed us that Bofill may just qualify for sorely need aid aid from the organization. He says that the wheels are grinding and if all goes well, she will receive assistance with medical bills ASAP.

Meanwhile, well wishes and donations from fans should be sent to: Live At Night, P.O. Box 1140, Maplewood, N.J. 07040.

hope she recovers..but that's jus sad that you can sell a million records one year and not be able to afford health insurance the next. instead of chasing people downloading music, maybe the record industry should be setting up funds to help the artists who don't have a lot of money sad
you look better on your facebook page than you do in person hmph!

If folks want to here a true r&b artist, they should get her Angel of the Night album. It's perfect.

I hope she gets better. My ex introduced me to her music a few years back.

I especially loved her song "Tonight I Give In".
