Bucking a festival trend that reached its apex with Tupac's digitized 2012 appearance at Coachella, TLC will not be using a hologram of late member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes on their 2014 tour dates. Instead, T-Boz and Chilli hold it down as a duo, tastefully honoring Left Eye with passionate renditions of their biggest hits. Performing in 2013 in celebration of their 20th anniversary, TLC reminded fans just why they remain the top-selling American girl group of all time, bringing anticipation for their 2014 tour dates to a fever pitch.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Combining R&B, hip hop, and soul, TLC rose to international superstardom in the '90s with a string of multi-platinum albums and No. 1 singles. Their 1992 debut Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip spawned several hits, but it was 1994 sophomore album CrazySexyCool that really put them on the map. Boasting two international No. 1's with "Creep" and "Waterfalls," CrazySexyCool became the first diamond-certified album by a female group, earning them two Grammy wins out of four nominations. Their run continued with 1999's FanMail, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and contained the era-defining classic "No Scrubs," winner of Best R&B song at the 2000 Grammys. In the wake of the death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in 2002, T-Boz and Chilli have carried on TLC's legacy, celebrating 20 years of hits in 2013 with a compilation and tour.
