A memorial for Lisa 'Left Eye' in Honduras

NEW YORK (TLC Fans Website) - A memorial for the late TLC singer Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes has been commissioned in Honduras, where the singer died in a car crash last year.

The freestanding monument will be unveiled on 27 May in the Honduran city of La Ceiba, where Lopes had bought 84 acres of land shortly before her death.
The singer was killed in a car accident on April 2002, after becoming a worldwide star with TLC.
The band had hits such as Waterfall and No Scrubs and sold more than 20 million records.

The memorial will be revealed by the TLC singer's family, as well as Honduran president Ricardo Maduro, and other dignitaries.
Lopes had been a regular visitor to Honduras, and often worked at a local children's centre during her time off. She had plans to open a health spa on the land she bought before her death.

High speed crash

Lopes suffered severe head injuries and died when she lost control of the vehicle she was driving in Honduras on 25 April 2002.

Seven other people, including her brother and sister, were injured in the crash, which local police are blaming on high speed and poor road conditions.

Lopes' funeral was in her home town of Lithonia, in Atlanta, last May.
The singer first made headlines in 1994 after she was arrested for burning down the house of boyfriend, former Atlanta Falcons American football player, Andre Rison.
After her death her bandmates - Tionne 'T Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas - said they would not replace her, but would continue TLC's fourth album as a duo. The record, 3D, was released last year.
