United Kingdom, Oct. 15 -- D'Angelo felt "really conflicted" about his body image.

The Grammy-winning star died from pancreatic cancer on Tuesday (14.10.25), aged 51, and a source has now revealed that he struggled with his self image, in spite of his sex symbol status.

The insider told People: "He battled with his weight. The chiseled machismo man that people fell in love with, that wasn't his natural aesthetic. He was naturally a bigger guy.

"He never was comfortable being a sex symbol, but also he didn't like people seeing him on his heavier side, so he was always really conflicted."

D'Angelo's friends and family are still coming to terms with his passing.

The source added: "Such an amazing talent is gone."
