These Celebrities Died Tragically Young

Aaliyah, 22 Years Old

R&B icon Aaliyah gained prominence at just 10 years old when she performed alongside Gladys Knight, and by age 12 she'd earned herself a record deal. She worked with Missy Elliott and Timbaland for her second studio album, "One in a Million," and appeared in her first film, "Romeo Must Die," in 2000. Her death was a tragedy to the R&B community. The flight she was on with several other members of her record company exploded on the runway, and no one survived.
