9. Aaliyah
Aaliyah was both a talented and extremely promising young R&B star whose hit singles included the likes of “The One I Gave My Heart To”, “Are You That Somebody”, “I Don’t Wanna” and “Try Again” – the latter of which was her biggest success. She also dabbled in modelling, dancing and acting, having appeared in movies like Rome Must Die and Queen of the Damned.
In 2001, she was on board a small aeroplane travelling from the Bahamas to Florida, when the plane crashed before it reached the end of the runway. It exploded and killed the star, as well as the eight other people on board. Aaliyah was just 22 years old at the time.
