Grammy Award-winning singer and “American Idol” star Mandisa has died suddenly at just 47 years old, according to reports.
Christian rock radio station K-Love announced her sudden death on Friday.
The California native, whose full name was Mandisa Hundley, died at her home in Nashville, Tenn., on Thursday.
In a statement about Mandisa’s unexpected passing, K-Love said:
“Even more than her music, the Platinum-selling singer will forever be known for her huge heart and sincerity.
“Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn.”
According to the Daily Mail, K-Love’s media officer, David Pierce, said:
“Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart.
“Mandisa struggled, and she was vulnerable enough to share that with us, which helped us talk about our own struggles.”
