미국의 유명 R&B여가수 Aaliyah 죽다.

[Sir Barkley]

nba 와 상관은 없지만..... ㅡㅡ;

아시는분은 아시겠지만 미국에 Aaliyah라고 꽤 알려진 R&B여가수가 있는데 오늘 아쉽게 비행기 사고로 죽었다고 하더군요.Aaliyah와 다른 8명이 타고 있어다던데 8명은 죽고 한명은 심각하게 부상을 당해 신속히 플로리다로 운송되었다 합니다.바하마에서 미국으로 돌아오는 중이라고 하던데....... 비행기가이륙 하자마자 추락해 바하마에서 죽었답니다. 왜 비행기가 추락했는지는 아직 미지수라 하더군요. 바하마에서 뮤직비디오인가 뭔지는 잘 모르겠지만 비디오를 찍고 돌아오는데 그런 불행을 당했다고 합니다. 정말 아쉽네요. 그래미상 후보에 오를만큼 실력파 가수였는데,쩝.... 영화 '로미오 머스트 다이'에도 이연걸이랑 같이 나오고..... 들리던 소문에는 매트릭스 2,3편에도 캐스팅 되었다는데, 그건 잘 모르겠구요. 노래도 꽤 마음에 들었는데 죽다니 꽤 충격적이네요.

My prayers are with your family Aaliyah...

Aaliyah Killed In Bahamas Plane Crash

R&B singer and actress Aaliyah died tonight (Aug. 25) when a small plane that was to carry her and eight others back to the United States crashed after takeoff in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas, authorities said. Eight were killed in Saturday's crash, and one critically injured man was flown to Florida for treatment, officials said.

Bahamian national television quoted the civil aviation department as saying the 22-year-old Aaliyah (full name: Aaliyah Dana Haughton) was among nine Americans on board.

The private plane was leaving the Marsh Harbour airport on a trip to Opa-locka, Fla. when it went down Saturday evening, said police spokesman Marvin Dames. Abaco Island Chief Councilor Silbert Mills said those killed included two women and six men.

The cause of the crash was unclear. Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta, said the plane was a Cessna 402 owned by Skystream, a company based in Pembroke Pines, Fla. She said the plane crashed at the end of the airport's runway at 6:50 p.m.

"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.

Aaliyah's 2000 hit "Try Again" earned her a Grammy nomination for best female R&B vocalist. She made her feature acting debut in the film "Romeo Must Die," and had already shot upcoming roles in the films "Queen of the Damned" and two sequels to the 1999 hit "The Matrix."

The artist's most recent self-titled Blackground/Virgin album debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart earlier this month.
