Zuri Craig, a former finalist on America’s Got Talent as part of the Craig Lewis band, has died.
His death was confirmed by his family on Friday, October 21, 2022, in a post on his website. The cause of death has not been made public, but some speculate that he died as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident on Oct. 21.
“We announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, and friend, Zuri Craig, with profound sadness.” We appreciate your prayers in advance. Please respect our privacy during this unbearable time of bereavement.”
Before his appearance on national TV, Craig also appeared in select Perry projects, including Madea’s Big Happy Family, A Madea Christmas, and Madea Gets a Job. Craig also recently worked on a web series, Black Hollywood Atlanta, for which the production put out a casting call last year.
In addition to music, he has worked on podcasts and other shows over the years. He was set to produce Soul Food Live, an Atlanta-based show, beginning in November 2022, and was heavily promoting it on social media at the time of his death.
