| Another sad day in
music & movie history is upon us, as 22 year old singer Aaliyah died in a plane on her
way to shoot the video for her next single off her recently released self-titled album.
She was then to head back to the set of the upcoming Matrix films. In a article from the Detroit news: R&B singer and actress Aaliyah died when a small plane that was to
carry her and eight others back to the United States crashed after takeoff in the Bahamas,
authorities said.
Eight were killed in Saturday's crash, and one
critically injured man was flown to Florida for treatment, officials said.
``We find it devastating and most unfortunate that
after having this world-famous star Aaliyah and her crew select the Bahamas as their
choice location for her latest video, the project has climaxed on such a tragic note,''
said Minister of Tourism Tommy Turnquest, who happened to be visiting Abaco Island, where
the plane went down.
For once in my life, I am honestly speechless. I met
Aaliyah once in a very brief encounter in Detroit, Michigan. She was a very sweet person,
and its a really sad situation that something so tragic could happen to someone so kind in
the growing time of her career. Her music and her movie careers were soaring to new
heights. Aaliyah Haughton is definately a person that is going to send a hard jolt to the
music community. We here at Gyeah.com would like to send our deepest condolonces to the
family, friends and fans of Aaliyah. She was truly One in A Million.
R.I.P.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton
1979 - 2001
