Danielle Moore of Crazy P performs live

Danielle Moore, the lead vocalist of Crazy P, has died suddenly at the age of 52 – tributes are being paid from across the music industry.

The news was announced by Moore’s bandmates earlier today (September 2), who shared a collective statement online and told fans that the singer’s death was both “sudden and tragic”.

“We are devastated to announce the unbelievable and shocking news that our beautiful Danielle Moore has died in sudden and tragic circumstances. This happened on Friday afternoon August 30th,” the update read.

“We cannot believe the news ourselves and we know it will be the same for all of you. She gave us so much and we love her so much. Our hearts are broken. We need time to process that this has happened. Danielle lived a life driven by love compassion community and music. She lived the biggest of lives. We will miss her with all our hearts X”

Raised in Manchester, Moore was one of the most successful and influential female vocalists in the UK dance music scene, and rose to fame as the frontwoman for Crazy P.

Formed by Chris Todd and Jim Baron in 1995, Moore joined the group as a vocalist in 2002, along with bassist Tim Davies and percussionist Mav Kendricks. The group made a name for themselves by creating a signature blend of house, disco and soul, and released a total of seven studio albums, toured the world together and also went on to share several remix albums.

Hit singles included 2011’s ‘Eruption’ and 2015’s ‘Like A Fool’, and the band also shared a live concert album following a huge tour in Australia.

Following news of Moore’s passing, countless names from across the industry have come forward to pay their respects.

“One of the most beautiful souls has left us. The brilliant Danielle Moore of Crazy P has died suddenly and she has taken so much light with her,” wrote Róisín Murphy. “One of the best in music, an amazing person and an amazing singer, performer and songwriter. I know there will be a great sense of loss and mourning across our community. She touched everybody she met with light and love. Sending sincerest condolences to those friends and family closest to her. I, like so many, loved and admired her.”

Faithless’ Sister Bliss – who toured with Crazy P in 2005 and 2006 – added: “Shocked to hear tragic news about the lovely & talented Danielle Moore @crazypmusic who supported @faithless on our tour back in the day & had pleasure of sharing the stage with so recently … they were going from strength to strength 🙁 Just awful.”

Rowetta – who was a close friend of Moore and vocalist for the likes of Peter Hook & The Light and Happy Mondays – also took to social media. “One of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met,” she began.

“Danielle only messaged me last week. An incredible talent with the biggest heart. Really does hurt to think I won’t see you again. Too many tears. Sending my condolences & love to her family, loved ones & Crazy P.”

The Blessed Madonna also shared a message, writing that she sends “Love and strength to all who surrounded her”, while Defected Records described the artist as “a force of nature — a beacon of joy, energy, and creativity who lit up every stage and room that she graced.”

One of her last interviews took place last year, when she spoke to Disco Pogo about her time in the music industry.

“I’m 52 this year, and I sometimes find myself up against the idea that I’m not ‘steady’ or ‘settled’. I’ve experienced more than a few raised eyebrows. But I know I’m so lucky with my life,” she told the outlet. “Would I swap those travels and memories and music for anything? Would I fuck!”

Before then, she recalled how supporting Faithless in 2005 had a profound impact on her group, and claimed that their last album – 2019’s ‘Age of the Ego’ – was “probably the most proud I am of an album, lyrically speaking” (via The Guardian).
