CNN and other media were reporting Sunday night that singer Teena Marie had died.

The cable television network reported on its website that Marie's manager Mike Gardner confirmed the death of Marie, 54.

The AJC has not independently confirmed the news. But earlier Sunday night, Philadelphia radio station WDAS posted a short announcement of her death on its website and on its broadcast streamed over the Internet. The radio station cited no source, but said details would be forthcoming.

Marie was scheduled to play the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on New Year’s Day.
