D'Angelo Performs For The First Time In 11 Years [VIDEO]

D'Angelo will forever be one of my favorite R&B artists of all time.  Despite his run ins with the law and his other personal issues, I'm pretty sure the world is glad that he's back to doing what he does best.  Recently, the Richmond, VA born singer took to Stockholm, Sweden to make his debut as a performer for the first time in eleven years.

Watch below as a super-swole D'Angelo hops down from the keys and performs his brand new track "Sugar Daddy!" More clips after the jump!
