Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, the most flamboyant and outspoken member of the multi-platinum trio TLC, has died, according to a spokesperson for the group's label, Arista Records. Lopes was 30.
The rapper/singer perished in a car accident late Thursday night while she was vacationing in Honduras.
"We had all grown up together and were as close as a family. Today we have truly lost our sister," Lopes' TLC partners Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas said in a statement.
"No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss," Arista's CEO L.A. Reid said in a separate statement. "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."
On Friday morning (April 26) Lopes' personal publicist released details about the tragedy. Left Eye went down to Honduras — where she would often visit — on March 20, and was scheduled to return to the States soon. While there, she was volunteering at a children's development center.
Left Eye was driving a rented Montero SUV and driving from La Ceiba to San Pedro Sula. According to her spokesperson, a three-person group called Egypt, her brother, sister and two producers were traveling in the vehicle with her. The spokesperson said the SUV tipped over and Left Eye died after sustaining a blow to the head. Contrary to earlier reports, her spokesperson said some of the other passengers were in fact hurt and are currently in a hospital in La Ceiba.
Lopes' representative said that her body is expected to be released today and flown to Atlanta.
