NY Post
Roberta Flack, the Grammy Award-winning singer best known for “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” has died. She was 88.
“We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning, February 24, 2025,” Flack’s rep said in a statement to The Post.
“She died peacefully surrounded by her family. Roberta broke boundaries and records. She was also a proud educator,” the statement added.
Flack was battling several health challenges in the years leading up to her death. She publicly revealed she had ALS in late 2022.
The progressive disease “has made it impossible to sing and not easy to speak,” Flack’s manager Suzanne Koga said in a release at the time. “But it will take a lot more than ALS to silence this icon.”
The 2022 release also said that the famous singer and pianist “plans to stay active in her musical and creative pursuits” through her eponymous foundation and other avenues.
