Lifetime has shared the first trailer for the forthcoming documentary special ‘TLC Forever’.
Premiering June 3, the programme chronicles the journey of the Waterfalls group who led the way with their music, message and style, with T-Boz, Chilli and other music industry colleagues – including Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson and Missy Elliot – detailing their story and lives, revealing how they broke boundaries, influenced an entire generation and survived against all odds.
Formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1990, TLC consisted of Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes and Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas and scored massive success over the following decade, selling over 85 million records, scoring four US No. 1s and numerous accolades.
However, alongside the success they experienced darkness, controversy and tragedy, as the trio balanced worldwide fame and massive notoriety against internal fallouts, external attacks, bankruptcy, and illness.
“How are we meant to fight against the world if we’re fighting internally?” they ask in the trailer.
When Left Eye died tragically after a car accident in 2002, the group faced immense pain and felt abandoned by the entertainment industry, but they persevered through the struggles and forged a new path to success.
The duo will continue to celebrate their career to date with a new tour set to launch over the summer.
‘TLC Forever’ premieres June 3 on A&E Networks and Lifetime.
