17 Shocking Celebrity Deaths

12. Tupac

Death: 13 September 1996 Tupac was an American singer, songwriter and actor who has sold over 75 million albums across the world, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. The main message that Tupac aimed to get across with his music was of the hardships of life, especially for people who were considered to be a minority and the racism that they face on a daily basis. Tupac was a victim of a drive by shooting and he ultimately died from his injuries. He was shot four times. No one deserves to be murdered in such a brutal way and Tupac still had so much more to give to the world. He would have been able to inspire and teach a lot more young artists if he wasn't taken away so prematurely. The world of rap would be very different today if he was still alive.
