It’s been 10 years since TLC member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was killed in a car crash in Honduras on April 25, 2002, by the time of her death, aged just 30 .
The music community was traumatized by her untimely death. Along with group members Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, Left Eye recorded a decade’s worth of anthems, including “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg,” “Creep” and “No Scrubs,” and became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.
T-Boz was the cool vocalist who sung in a low register. Chilli was the sexy Black Barbie who sang R&B pop. And Left Eye was the baby-faced, squeaky-voiced rapper known for spewing controversial lyrics like, “If I need it in the morning and the middle of the night, I ain’t too proud to beg.”
After Left Eye’s death, TLC never rebounded, though T-Boz and Chilli have performed at select concert dates and award shows.
