Heard about this earlier. Looked her up and she was recently trying to make a name for her self outside of Mexico (she was born in the united states by the way). In a way this reminds me of Selena's and Aaliyah. Both were on the verge to make a name, and died before they were given the chance.


Yea, I remember Aaliyah. She was JUST getting started wasn't she? Selena was killed by a fan if I remember correctly, no?

Also, back in the 70s, if you remember, Jim Croce, who was just making a string of hits for himself when he was too killed in a plane crash. Also, off the top of my head, Ricky Nelson, John Denver also died in plane crashes. Of course we can go way way back to Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, etc. All left us way to young. frown

Yea, crazy fan shot and killed Selena. At least she had a movie to keep her memory alive, same with holly/bobber/valens with McLean's song American Pie.

At least Holly/Denver/Nelson made a name for them selfs before there untimely passing. Croce was a sad death, Bad Bad Leroy Brown is a great song.

It just seems like musician's have two things to worry about. Getting pass the age of 27 and planes. You barely hear anything bad happening in a car/van...unless your willie nelson.
