Aaliyah was an R&B singer, actress and model whose life was cut short by a plane accident back in August 25, 2001 together with other members of her staff who were with her during the filming of her music video “Rock the Boat” in the Bahamas. The cause of the plane crash was said to be the overweight in the craft since Aaliyah and her crew brought all of their heavy equipment on the said flight instead of leaving them behind.
After the news came out that Aaliyah died, everyone who knew her was shocked with the very tragic ending to this beautiful young princess whose career was at its peak. Her third album then became number 1 from number 19 just shortly after her death .
She also received a posthumous award in 2002’s American Music Awards both for best female R&B artist and favorite R&B album. She also had a movie, Queen of the Damn, which was posthumously released in cinemas in February of 2002.
Aaliyah only had 3 albums and some movies but her memory lingers on since the day that she died. Her songs are soulful and she intoxicates us with her beauty on her movies. Aaliyah is surely missed.
