Legacy: D’Angelo 51 [Updated]

Michael Eugene Archer, known as D’Angelo passed at age 51, with an estate of $1 Million in 2025.

D’Angelo allegedly suffered in private with  pancreatic cancer, no official statement from his team.

D’Angelo’s catalog and music contributions that combine streaming, synchronization licensing (for film/game use like “Unshaken”), and royalties from collaborations, the cumulative lifetime revenue up to 2025 are estimated to exceeds $64–$80 million in gross terms, much of which flows to Universal Music Group and its sub-labels rather than the artist directly. His catalog was apart of Universal Music Group’s 5 Million songs purchased in a $288 Million sale, amounting to less than 0.05%.
