TLC have announced plans to release their first album of new material in 14 years.

Following the death of Lisa ‘Left-Eye’ Lopes in 2002, remaining band members T-Boz and Chilli will record their final album as a duo.

The pair launched a Kickstarter campaign back in January to raise funds for the new record and have currently raised an impressive £290,000.

“We wouldn’t dream of making our final album with anyone BUT our fans. Come on y'all, BE A PART OF TLC HISTORY!”

“And of course, it's for the new fans too! We just want to put out great music that touches everyone. That's it.”

Their manager Bill Diggins has now confirmed that the duo have recorded 15 songs and that an album and tour aren’t far off.

“The best is definitely yet to come,” he said.

TLC decided to retire back in 2002 after Lopes died in a car crash while filming a documentary in Honduras.

They released their last album, 3D, later that year, with Lopes’s vocals featuring on a number of the tracks.
