Hello Bobby_Z,
Thank you for your question:
Sly Stone, born March 15, 1943 in Dallas, and also known as Sylvester
Stewart, Sly & the Family Stone and Sylvester Stone is still alive.
An article dated November, 2001 at the Bartcop Entertainment Website
mentions that Sly has been living in seclusion for the past years.
“The Pioneer Awards, which the Rhythm and Blues Foundation handed out
Thursday night at the Apollo Theater, recognize those who have made a
deep impact on the development of rhythm & blues. (..) And Sly & the
Family Stone - minus the Sly -had audience members on their feet
jamming when their acceptance speech turned into an impromptu
performance of their smash, ``I Want to Take You Higher.' “Sly Stone,
whose real name is Sylvester Stewart, has lived in seclusion for
years. His mother, Alfa Stewart, accepted the award on her son's
behalf. His sister, Rose Stone, said he had considered coming to the
ceremony, but his father's recent death and the terrorist attacks kept
him at home in Los Angeles. Still, she said Stone appreciated the
award.”

This article mentions that Sly is living on Welfare in Los Angeles.
A short excerpt of this article:
“Sly Stone is living on welfare in an apartment house somewhere on the
outskirts of Los Angeles. He still has a manager who visits him once a
week. But Sly mostly sits in front of the TV. Sometimes he gets in
front of the computer the hopeful manager has bought for him and
composes what he himself calls "phuture phunk".

Dear Bobbie_Z,
It appears that the answer I provided has launched us into areas that,
while related, are beyond the scope of the original question.
Answering the questions in this clarification request would best be
served by asking them in a new question. I hope that is not too
inconvenient, but, researchers are instructed to only answer the
original question. You may want to reference this question ID in your
new question.
Sincerely,
