It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 12 year since Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes died after a car accident in Honduras. The late TLC rapper and singer left a legacy of great music and fond memories.
Late last years, thanks to VH1’s biopic, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, and Lil Mama did a stand up job portraying the pint-sized artist with the big heart, we were all reminded how unfortunate he untimely passing truly was. As the time of her death she was a mere 30-years-old.
On the 12th anniversary of Lopes’ death, take a look at a dozen photos of the singer looking timelessly fine in the gallery.
