Carman (1956–2021), contemporary Christian singer and songwriter
Carman Dominic Licciardello has passed away at the age of 65. “LGMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame member, CARMAN, passed away Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at a Las Vegas, Nevada hospital, after fighting a series of complications resulting from surgery to repair a hiatal hernia,” the official statement read.
Carman was a trailblazer who made innovative songs and music videos. He had an amazing ability to tell stories through his songs. The charismatic singer made his concerts highly entertaining but most of all Christ centered and evangelistic.
According to Christianity Today, Carman “won seven Dove Awards. He was nominated for four Grammys, named Billboard’s Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year in 1990 and 1992, and sold more than 10 million albums.” Carman was inducted into the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2018.
May his memory be a blessing and may God bring comfort to his wife and family. He will be dearly missed.
