IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: SAD NEWS: Tony! Toni! Toné! Star D’Wayne Wiggins Dead at 64 After Cancer Battle
D’Wayne Wiggins, singer and guitarist for Tony! Toni! Toné!, died last week. He was 64.
Wiggins’ death was announced on Friday on the band’s official Instagram in a statement that said he’d been “privately and courageously battling bladder cancer” over the last year.
The announcement came two days after Wiggins’ family posted that he was “experiencing medical complications” that he was “working through… one day at a time.”
Wiggins founded Tony! Toni! Toné! in Oakland in 1986 with half-brother Raphael Saadiq and their cousin Timothy Christian Riley, and the group released its first album, “Who?”, two years later.
