It was nine years ago today that while playing mas somewhere in the Portabella area of the Notting Hill carnival the news of the death of R&B princess Aaliyah died in a plane crash started sweeping through the streets. The news sobered me up instantly, and as we toasted to her life and looked at posters of her album on walls in the area, news of her passing put a damper to the celebrations for me as once again the fragility of life and how suddenly we can loose it became clear.
I can't even imagine the impact she would've had on today's music if she was still alive.
