A large musical tribute honoring Aaliyah will take place in New Orleans, United States, marking 25 years since the tragic passing of the artist, who was considered one of the brightest rising stars of the late 1990s. Missy Elliott is slated to perform as part of the tribute, an artist she has previously described as her “younger sister.” The event organizers have stated that the tribute is being held with the support and blessing of her mother, Diane Haughton, and brother, Rashad. Following the festival announcement, a visibly emotional Rashad stated, “I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the organizers, performers, and the unforgettable Missy Elliott for this tribute to honor the life, art, and legacy of my sister.” The tribute aims to celebrate the life and artistic contributions of Aaliyah.
The planning for the event has emphasized the personal connection between the family and the performance.
