    When T started crying that shit got me:( I truly appreciate and cherish all 3 members of TLC. Even though Lisa is not hear i can still do that because her solo music and what she did for TLC will always remain. Other people need to really do the same because we almost lost T-Boz. She is so lucky to be alive and we are so lucky to have her as well as Chilli. #TLCIs4Eva

      Who said that? This has been a treatable condition for years, before 2010, so can’t understand that prognosis.

    I can't wait for new T-Boz solo music. She's got one of the most beautiful and unique voices. All three members of TLC are just as good individually as they are a group. I still got my Left Eye solo album "Supernova".

  • @allistrata

    I love their new album!
    When T said she kept going on for her daughter it made me cry. I get it. Chronic illness can make you get to a point where you're like why do I stay? Honestly if I didn't have my son, I would kill myself. Keep pushing, T. We love you.

    This is proof that God is in control of your birthdate and expiration date. Tboz was told she wouldn't live past 30 but Left Eye waa the one that died at 30. We ALL should get a relationship with JESUS CHRIST and live according to the word. Never know when that day will come so doing this will prepare you for eternal life.

      you really sat here, heard how this woman has been battling sickle cell since she was a child and then had a brain tumor on top of that and that's what your mind and heart told you to say? i hope in 3 years you have grown as a person
