NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Grammy-winning Christian singer Mandisa Hundley died at her Nashville home Thursday, according to several reports. She was 47 years old.
Mandisa first came to the public eye after finishing in the Top 10 on Season 5 of “American Idol.”
In a post on X Friday morning, K-Love Radio’s Chief Media Officer David Pierce confirmed the singer’s death. He said in a statement below:
"Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn. Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart. Mandisa struggled, and she was vulnerable enough to share that with us, which helped us talk about our own struggles. Mandisa’s struggles are over, she is with the God she sang about now. While we are saddened, Mandisa is home. We’re praying for Mandisa’s family and friends and ask you to join us."
Mandisa’s cause of death has not yet been released.
