R.I.P. Richard Nichols (The Roots)

Illadelph Afterlife.

The Roots are mourning the loss of their longtime producer and manager, Richard Nichols. Months ago, Nichols was hospitalized for leukemia and passed away this afternoon. Our condolences.

The Roots Family are devastated to announce the passing of Richard Nichols, the band’s longtime manager, after a long battle with leukemia. Nichols, 55, a Philadelphia native, managed the band from its inception in 1992, and was instrumental in every aspect of The Roots’ creative, cultural, and professional life over the past two decades. Nichols is survived by his wife, Mercedes Martinez, his sons Amiri Nichols and Rakim Nichols, his sisters Rochelle Nichols-Solomon, Rebecca Dennis, his brothers Russell Nichols and Reginald Nichols, and the many individuals and artists he mentored in his lifetime. – The Roots
