These Celebrities Died Tragically Young

Christina Grimmie, 22 Years Old

After gaining popularity on Youtube with videos of herself singing cover songs, she released an EP in 2011 that launched her towards Adam Levine's team on "The Voice." Levine announced at the end of the show that, regardless if she won the season or not, he would sign her to his label. She was instead signed to Island Records for a short time in 2014. In 2016, she was killed in a murder-suicide when an obsessed fan attended one of her concerts in Florida and shot her and then himself at point-blank.
