ATLANTA – Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of the top selling female trio TLC was killed in a car crash in Honduras, her record company confirmed early Friday.
Lopes, 31, was in Honduras for a vacation, Arista Records senior vice president Laura Swanson told The Associated Press. Lopes was reportedly among seven people in the car and the only fatality.
"No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss," said Arista president L.A. Reid, who helped shape the career of the popular R&B group.
"Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspiration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered forever."
TLC, which also included Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, were the Grammy-winning group behind such hits as "Waterfall," "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty." Their latest album was "FanMail."
So sad......I kinda liked their music.......RIP

Yeah, I used to think she was whacked when she burned down the house by setting the Teddy Bears on fire.. after putting them all in the bathtub and pouring igniter fluid on them...
but this is still a tragegy nonetheless. I always feel sad when I hear about stuff like this.. especially when they are so young.

This was my group back in the day. I loved them. My whole wall was full of posters of TLC. This is really sad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> Did you guys hear about that school shooting in Germany today? This week as not ended well. I liked TLC so much when I was in 3rd grade. I was excited that they were going to be starting on a new record soon but then I heard about this. Sad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
