Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes 10 Years After

This was meant to have been posted yesterday, but i was a bit down and couldn't come up here. But i can't let something like this go. 10 years ago, yesterday, my favourite TLC (T-BOZ, LEFT EYE, CHILLI) member, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes passed away from a cash accident in Honduras. On April 25, 2002 in La Ceiba, Honduras, while driving a Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Lisa Lopes allegedly tried to swerve around a truck, but there was another vehicle heading towards them in the opposite direction. To avoid a head-on collision, she swerved all the way off the road. The vehicle rolled several times after hitting two trees, throwing left-eye and 3 others out the window. I think i should stop here...i am already getting emotional all over again.















Below is news from her 10 Year Death Anniversary held
yesterday-

"The word anniversary means a celebration," Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins said in a statement as she remembered her former TLC bandmate Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, 10 years after her tragic death. "For us her death will never be a celebration -- it's still something that hurts," she added. Lopes was killed on April 25, 2002, in a car accident in Honduras. She was just 30 years old.


As Watkins and other surviving TLC member Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas remember the late rapper, they revealed the plan to forge ahead with the group as a twosome. "Yes, we're going on tour," T-Boz told Essence. "We are in negotiations now with L.A. Reid, so we'll see what happens. A lot of cool things are coming up."


Chilli added that in addition to a reunion tour, the duo will record new music and drop their first album since 2002's 3D. "Another TLC album? Yes, that's for sure! We'll have new music right after the movie drops," she revealed.


The movie the singer's referring to is a biopic about the group, which the ladies are currently working on with VH1 and is expected to be released by the end of the year. "It's going to have to be new kids; I can't think of anybody that can play us," T-Boz explained. "It's not just about looking like me or dressing like me, you have to have the attitude, the dance moves. The writer of the biopic, Kate Lanier, is amazing."


God bless her soul. She was the energetic one in the group (TLC)...the most outspoken...the rapper...my favourite member. Like Quan said- "can we have another moment of silence..."

Yesterday marked the ninth anniversary of the untimely passing of TLC member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. The rapper/singer was killed in a car accident while travelling in Honduras, she was 30 years old. Lopes’ death left a large hole in the music industry and in the lives of the many people that loved her. Record executive L.A. Reid was one such person whose life was touched by Left Eye and who continues to mourn her to this day. Reid was like a mentor to the artist and signed her to his LaFace Records label.

Reid spoke with The Hollywood Reporter recently and expressed his feelings for Lopes. He explained, “I think about her often, I miss Lisa a lot. She was like my little girl, and I loved her. I was closer to her and I was devastated at the loss of her. I still love her today, and she still is in my mind and in my thoughts daily. It's been quite some time now but it's one of those things that just never goes away. Left Eye' was an original ... losing 'Left Eye' was a big loss to all of us. I'm still saddened by it as we talk about it. ”

Reid also stated that he believes Left Eye’s influence is still felt in the music industry to this day. He revealed that there was one artist he felt had the same aggressive spark that Lopes displayed during her career. “I see a little Left Eye in [Nicki Minaj]. There's certain female artists that you can see the influence of TLC and that time,” Reid said.

Wow! That is so touching, i sooo miss her too. Just in case you do not know, L.A Reid is a music executive, and producer; and was with Def Jam for a considerable number of years. Concerning his comparison, i think you can say nicki minaj has that playful quality that left eye had. Oh! How so i miss her. She was so lovable.
