Track featuring Left Eye released on eve of death anniversary

Written by . Published: April 25 2012

A previously unreleased track featuring late TLC star Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes has been made available to purchase online to mark the 10-year anniversary of her death.


The tune, Fantasies, by rapper Bootleg, initially began circulating on the internet in late February (12), but on Tuesday (24Apr12), record executives at German label Block Starz Music released it as a charity download to honour the TLC star.


Proceeds from the single will benefit the late rapper's youth organisation, the Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Foundation.


Meanwhile, Lopes' TLC bandmates Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas reveal they are producing a new biopic for a VH1 TV special.


And the two singers admit they are still grieving Lopes' tragic death in a horrific car crash in Honduras on 25 April, 2002.


In a statement to AllHipHop.com, Watkins says, "The word anniversary means a celebration. For us her death will never be a celebration, it’s still something that hurts."


Thomas adds, "Lisa is our sister. You never get over losing a family member. We love her and we miss her and that isn't ever going to change... But this project (biopic) is truly a dream come true for us."
