It’s been 15 years now since Aaliyah was snatched away from us in a 2001 plane crash that claimed her life. But Brooklyn-born singer, dancer, actress, and model Aaliyah Dana Haughton left an undeniable imprint on the sound, the look and the feel of popular urban music.
In celebration of her life, friends and fans took to social media today to show that she will always be missed.
