Tupac Shakur would have turned 51 years old today if he hadn't been gunned down in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
Aged just 25, fans were devastated when the rapper was shot four times outside Las Vegas' Club 662 as he pulled up in a black BMW owned by Death Row Records boss Suge Knight.
With wounds to his chest, arm and thigh, Tupac was rushed to ER, where he fought for life for six long days before he died from respiratory failure and cardiac arrest after having a lung removed.
