Mary J. Blige and D'Angelo, Zac Brown Band: Hot Tickets Singer D'Angelo made a comeback performance at this month's BET Awards. (Michael Buckner/Getty Images for BET) Mary J. Blige may be the headliner Aug. 26 at Verizon Center, but the big story will be the return of opening act D'Angelo. After the muscular R&B singer dropped the smash hit "Voodoo" in 2000 and became a sex symbol with his music video for "Untitled," he distanced himself from the music scene and the media. But after an in-depth interview with GQ, a performance at the BET Awards and word of a follow-up album in the works, the crooner is in full-on comeback mode.
