Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins On The Promise She Kept For Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes

It’s been 15 years since the death of TLC’s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, but bandmate Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins can remember it as though it were yesterday.

Watkins recalls the moment she learned of Lopes’ death in her new memoir,A Sick Life: TLC ’n Me - Stories From On and Off the Stage. In the book, she reflects on her personal life, career, motherhood and what it’s like living with sickle cell disease. It’s all straight from the heart, especially the chapters about Lopes and the influential ’90s girls group.

During a recent interview with HuffPost at Build Series, Watkins opened up about the hours and days after Lopes was killed in a car accident in Honduras at age 30.
