What happens

Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B is a 2014 American biographical television film directed by Bradley Walsh and based on the life and career of R&B music star Aaliyah, following her rise to fame and death at age 22 when she was killed in a plane crash. The film is also based on the biography Aaliyah: More than a Woman by Christopher John Farley. The film premiered on Lifetime on November 15, 2014, and was met with criticism in its early stages of production due to Aaliyah's family's disapproval of Lifetime's choice to create the film. The film drew 3.2 million viewers upon its premiere, making it the second highest-rated television film of 2014, despite overwhelmingly negative reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
