TLC are planning a reunion tour that will integrate video projections of late band member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, reports TMZ. According to a representative for the R&B group, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas are in the planning stages of a full-scale North American tour that will launch later this year. Five major cities have already been booked.

At this point in the planning stages, it is unlikely that the group will bring Lopes back as a "hologram," like the digital simulation of Tupac Shakur that was recently used at Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's headlining performances at the Coachella festival. The surviving members of TLC will simply project footage of Lopez on a screen and use her vocals in the show.

Lopez died a decade ago yesterday in a car crash in Honduras.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
