9 Years On......R.I.P Aaliyah

9 years seems so long ago, but we still remember the very day when we heard on the news that 'Baby Girl' Aaliyah had been killed when her plane crashed in The Bahamas.

Aaliyah paved the way for many female music artists today. A natural born talent taken away from the world too soon.

R.I.P Aaliyah - 8 Years On

Today marks the eighth anniversary of the death of the RnB singer Aaliyah.

The talented singer and actress was killed in a plane crash in The Bahamas, along with eight others, after filming her music video for 'Rock The Boat' at the tender age of 22, when she had so much more to offer. The pilot of the plane was falsely licensed and had traces of alcohol and cocaine in his body, and the plane was also overweight, which were the causes of the plane to crash.

Aaliyah definitely helped pave the way for young female singers, and is still today seen as a great assest to RnB music.

Here's my favourite Aaliyah track, 'One In A Milion', which sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
