R&B fans were shocked to hear that rising superstar Aaliyah had died in a twin-engine Cessna crash on August 25, 2001. The 22 year old singer/actress had just wrapped filming her Rock the Boat music video in the Bahamas when a mechanical malfunction occurred just a few seconds after take-off. All nine passengers on board the overloaded aircraft perished. The unlicensed pilot had traces of alcohol and cocaine in his system.
