"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Charles Bradley. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," read a statement on Bradley's website.
"Always a fighter, Charles battled cancer with everything he had. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall of 2016 and underwent treatment. Bradley headed out on the road earlier this year after receiving a clean bill of health but the cancer recently returned, spreading to his liver."
The late-blooming soul singer spent years working mostly as a James Brown imitator before partnering up with the Daptone record label and releasing three albums — 2011's No Time For Dreaming, 2013's Victim of Love and 2016's Changes.
