VIBE Magazine also confirms R&B Legend Teddy Pendergrass Dead At 59
One of soul music’s most indelible voices has passed away. Teddy Pendergrass, the gruff-toned R&B superstar who shined as the genre’s biggest s*x symbol for much of the ‘70s and early ‘80s, died Wednesday at the age of 59.
In a press statement, the singer’s son, Teddy Pendergrass II, said his father died at Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia following his eight-month recovery from colon cancer. "To all his fans who loved his music, thank you," his son said. "He will live on through his music."
