A star in the R&B world before she was even out of her teens, Aaliyah's promising career was tragically cut short by her death in a plane crash at age 22. Even with only three albums under her belt, she'd already earned a place as a talented trendsetter among the R&B elite.
R.I.P.: 15 Celebs Whoâve Died In Plane Crashes. Aaliyah. Aaliyah was one of a kind in R&B music with a soft voice and unique style that kept everyone watching. She gave us hits like âBack & Forthâ, âOne In A Millionâ, âIf Your Girl Only Knewâ and so many other great songs. She did so much in her 22 years of life as not just a singer, but as an actress. She starred in âRomeo Must Dieâ and âQueen of the Damnedâ before her untimely death in 2001. She died in a plane crash in the Bahamas after shooting a video for the song âRock The Boat.â.
