Danielle Moore, Lead Singer of Crazy P, Cause of Death Revealed

Moore, the 52-year-old lead vocalist of the British dance group Crazy P, passed away on August 30.


The family of the late Danielle Moore, the talented lead vocalist of the British dance band Crazy P, has shared a deeply emotional statement revealing the cause of her death. Moore tragically passed away by suicide on August 30, 2024, at the age of 52. The news has left her fans, friends, and loved ones in shock, as Moore was known for her vibrant presence on stage and her deep emotional connection to the music she performed.

In their statement, Moore’s family expressed their sadness and sorrow while acknowledging the complexity of her passing. “Whilst we will never fully understand why Danielle took her life, we know that how she died bears no relation to who she was in life,” they wrote. This sentiment highlights the family's belief that her death should not define her legacy or the person she was.

Danielle Moore was an artist known for her compassion and concern for others. Her family shared how deeply she cared for the well-being of people and the planet. “Danielle cared deeply about the well-being of others and the world in which she lived,” the statement read. “She was pained by social injustice and the impact of consumerism. She was an empath, instinctively compassionate and loyal, nurturing the truest of connections with the people in her life. The image of human kindness and generosity of spirit.”

These words provide a glimpse into Moore's personality, offering a deeper understanding of the kind-hearted and sensitive soul behind the stage persona. Moore’s family went on to share that, despite her personal struggles, she had always been resilient in the face of mental health challenges. They said, “We also know that Danielle would never have wanted her outcome for anyone else. She overcame two periods of significant mental ill health in the distant past and was so grateful that she did. With support and treatment, Danielle came through what had seemed, at those times, to be intolerable and wanted to keep on living.”

The family emphasized that Moore had been able to push through difficult times in the past and had made tremendous progress with help and treatment. She had expressed gratitude for surviving these periods, and her family believes that she would have never wished such an outcome for anyone else. It underscores the profound loss they feel, knowing she had managed to overcome significant struggles before.

A key part of the family’s statement was dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of perimenopause on women’s mental health. They explained, “We would like to take this opportunity to highlight the prevalence of neurological and psychiatric symptoms during the perimenopause; something which is well known within the scientific community, but little talked about outside it.” This is an important point, as perimenopause can often lead to mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and mood swings, which may be exacerbated during times of stress or personal crises.

The family shared that they hoped Moore's tragic death would bring attention to the mental health struggles women face, especially during the perimenopausal period, a topic that remains under-discussed in the broader public sphere. By doing so, they hope her death will spark greater awareness and understanding of how this phase in a woman's life can impact her emotional well-being, encouraging conversations and support for others who may be struggling in silence.

In their statement, Moore’s family also expressed heartfelt thanks to the fans who supported her throughout her life and career. “We would like to thank everyone who came to see Danielle perform over the years and enabled her to do what she loved. She was as captivated by you as you were by her,” they wrote. Moore’s connection with her audience was always a crucial part of her artistry, and she deeply valued the opportunity to share her music with the world.

The family also extended their gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support that has come in the wake of her passing. They acknowledged the kindness and compassion from fans and friends who have reached out, expressing their condolences and admiration for Moore’s work and life. “The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming,” they said, highlighting how her memory continues to touch many lives.

Danielle Moore was a key figure in Crazy P, a disco house group formed in the mid-1990s by Chris Todd and Jim Baron while they were attending the University of Nottingham. The duo released their debut album, *A Nice Hot Bath With…*, in 1999, which marked the beginning of a successful career. In 2002, Moore and keyboardist Mav Kendricks joined the band, which also included bassist Tim Davies. This lineup released their second album, *The Wicked Is Music*, which further solidified their place in the electronic music scene.

Over the years, Crazy P released a total of nine albums, each contributing to their reputation as one of the UK’s most influential dance acts. Their music blended disco, house, and funk, with Moore’s soulful vocals serving as the band’s signature. Crazy P’s fans cherished Moore’s vibrant stage presence and her ability to connect deeply through her voice and performance. Their most recent album, *Any Signs Of Love*, was released on November 29, 2024, just three months after Moore’s passing. The album was a poignant reminder of her lasting contribution to the dance music world and the legacy she leaves behind.

Though her family is still processing their loss, they hope that their statement not only honors Moore’s memory but also encourages others to reflect on the importance of mental health support and empathy. As Crazy P continues to honor Danielle Moore's legacy, fans will undoubtedly remember her as more than just a talented vocalist but also a compassionate individual who cared deeply for the world around her.
