It’s been almost 19 years and we’re still talking about the mark Aaliyah Haughton left in this world. The late R&B singer would have been 41 today but she tragically lost her life in a plane crash at the age of 22.
Many went to social media to honor the young star today, including close friend and fellow artist Missy Elliot.
The Grammy-winner shared a touching video on Twitter. In the clip, Aaliyah can be heard explaining the intersection between her music and movie roles.
