Mac aaliyah collection release date
The group had been in the area filming the music video for Rock the Boat.Ī subsequent investigation found that in addition to the plane carrying more than 700lbs more than it was supposed to, the pilot wasn't properly licensed for that particular aircraft and was also found to have alcohol and cocaine in his bloodstream. She and her team of stylists, security and record company employees were killed when their overloaded aircraft crashed shortly after take-off at the Marsh Harbour Airport on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas.
The products will be hitting stores just two months shy of the 17th anniversary of the tragic plane crash that took the lives of Aaliyah and eight others on August 25, 2001. Missy Elliot, who was a good friend of the star, has also thrown her support behind the collaboration. In addition to the massive fan backing, the collection is supported by Aaliyah's family, including her brother Rashad Haughton, as well as the singer's very own glam squad, made up of: Eric Ferrell (makeup), Tre Major (hair) and Fashion Stylist Derek Lee. 'Inspired by your loyalty and love, the 90s-glam #AaliyahForMAC collection launches on on June 20th and in-stores in North America on June 21st! Aaliyah lives on in a makeup collection influenced by her groundbreaking work in music and film.'
