The music world mourns the loss of a true icon. Grammy-winning legend Roberta Flack, whose soulful voice brought life to classics like *Killing Me Softly with His Song* and *The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face*, has passed away at the age of 88.
Her publicist, Elaine Schock, confirmed to NBC News that Flack died peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones.
In 2022, Flack shared her battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which ultimately took away her ability to sing. Yet, despite the illness, her legacy remains as powerful and enduring as ever.
🕊️ RIP to an icon. Roberta Flack’s voice was a gift to the world, her music touched souls, and her legacy will live on.
