D’Angelo Enters Rehab in L.A.
July 20, 2005

After string of run-ins with law, Grammy-Award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo appears to be taking steps to get his life together.

A few days after his hearing on drug and alcohol charges in April, D’Angelo, otherwise known as Michael Eugene Archer, pledged to the court that he would seek treatment for substance abuse. D’Angelo, who lives in Midlothian, was also granted permission to leave the state to go to Los Angeles.

“He’s in some sort of rehab program out there,” says Mark Krueger, senior deputy commonwealth’s attorney for Chesterfield County.


In November 2002, D’Angelo was arrested and charged with aggressive driving and verbally assaulting a woman in Chesterfield. He settled with the woman in civil court and paid a $500 fine for obstruction of justice.

But his legal problems didn’t end. He was arrested in January in the city of Richmond and charged with disturbing the peace, carrying a concealed weapon, driving with an open container of alcohol and driving without a valid driver’s license. The case is pending.

While his troubles have kept his name in the news, his failure to release new material has kept his name off the music charts. That may soon change. D’Angelo’s lawyer, Ned Mikula, said his client is “hard at work” on a new recording.

The singer’s last album, Voodoo, released in 2000, sold 1.5 million copies. Since then, the singer has been rumored to be recording a follow-up with the working title of “James River.” (As he left the courthouse in April, the singer responded to a question about his next record and indicated that it would have a different name.)

D’Angelo is scheduled to return to court Aug. 29. — Craig Belcher

It's kinda sad to see that good artists like himself get caught up in the mix of booze & drugs...Hopefully he'll get it together again.
