Aaliyah was an R&B singer, actress and fashion icon who from a young age had an undeniable love for music. She was nothing short of determined to make her mark in this life. However, that all changed in the blink of an eye when a small plane she was traveling on crashed in the Bahamas, killing all nine on board. We're diving into Aaliyah's incredible life, rise to fame, and her untimely death.
