"Rozonda &amp;#039;Chilli&amp;#039; Thomas and Tionne &amp;#039;T-Boz&amp;#039; Watkins object to reports that they are trying to &amp;#039;replace&amp;#039; the late Lisa &amp;#039;Left Eye&amp;#039; Lopes. Lopes tragically died at the age of 30 in April 2002 in a car accident in Honduras. Her death came just months before the group&amp;#039;s album release, 3D. In an interview with CNN after Lopes&amp;#039; death, Thomas said: &amp;quot;She was our sister, you know?&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;And no matter what we went through, we&amp;#039;re sisters. You know sisters argue, and they kiss and make up and that&amp;#039;s just how our relationship was...Through us, people will always remember Lisa. We&amp;#039;ll always be a group. It doesn&amp;#039;t stop. &amp;quot;And she&amp;#039;ll never be replaced.&amp;quot;  Now the band are looking for a new collaborator to tour with and to help record one track for their greatest hits album. The search is being documented in reality show R U The Girl With T-Boz And Chilli?.  However, Thomas reiterates the fact that they are not trying to replace Lopes: &amp;quot;Nothing has changed. We&amp;#039;re not replacing Lisa. We&amp;#039;re not looking for a new member. &amp;quot;We started out with our fans and it&amp;#039;s all about our greatest hits. Basically, we are trying to give back to our fans and find one girl and give her a chance of a lifetime, to do one last performance with TLC. &amp;quot;We kind of call it, like, fan appreciation. We started together and we want to end it together, and that&amp;#039;s something that Lisa would have been fond of.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
