Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Documentary, Music
Look into the lives of Aaliyah, Amy Winehouse, Left Eye Lopes and Selena and celebrate the influence and the legacy they left behind too soon.
Aaliyah, an R&B singer and star of Romeo Must Die and Queen of the Damned, was killed in an airplane accident in the Bahamas along when the overloaded aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff.
The pilot had drugs and alcohol in his blood and was not qualified to fly the aircraft.
Amy Winehouse released one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history, Back to Black.
She struggled with substance abuse, mental illness, bulimia and addiction, dying of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27.
After her death, her album became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century.
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was a member of TLC along with Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas.
She was infamous for setting Andre Rison's home on fire before she died in a car crash in Roma, Jutiapa, Honduras, while volunteering at a children's development centre.
Days before, her assistant had accidentally killed a young boy, Bayron Isaul Fuentes Lopez, and she believed that a spirit that followed her chose him instead of her.
Selena was the Queen of Tejano Music and becoming a crossover star in America.
She is still one of the most influential Latin artists of all time even after she was shot and killed in 1995 by Yolanda Saldívar, her friend and the former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques.
This documentary takes you through the lives, the successes and challenges of these women, as well as what happened to all of them.
Each of their lives ended way before they could have done more and is a tragedy in its own way.
