Taylor fanboy Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Kyu Sakamoto He was best known outside Japan for his international hit song "Ue o Muite Arukō" (known as "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking markets), which was sung in Japanese and sold over 13 million copies. It reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963, making Sakamoto the first Asian recording artist to have a number one song on the chart. He was also the first Japanese artist to have a number one single on the Australian singles chart.[1] Sakamoto died on 12 August 1985 in the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123, along with 519 others on board the flight. The crash of Flight 123 is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history. Let’s remember them today. 🙏🕊 Edited June 14, 2023 by Taylor fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastlane Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Lisa Lopes from TLC. On April 25, 2002, Lopes was driving a rented Mitsubishi Montero SUV in La Ceiba, Honduras, when she swerved to avoid a truck then sharply to the left as she tried to avoid an oncoming car. The vehicle rolled several times after hitting two trees, throwing Lopes and three others out of the windows, and finally coming to rest in a ditch at the side of the road. Lopes, at the age of 30, died instantly of "fracture of the base of the cranium" and "open cerebral trauma", and was the only person fatally injured in the crash.

thetea Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 definitely whitney houston imo. it was so sad seeing her life turn so badly. all of those articles and gossip pieces about her drug addiction was so sad. she couldn't even trust her family members around her would take photos of her bathroom and leak information about her to the media. the media was also so openly disrespectful to her. people were so unnecessarily mean to her and she was constantly ridiculed up until her death. after she died, then everyone wanted to claim to be a fan, that she was so talented and that they missed her.
