TLC REUNITE AT TIMBERLAKE CHARITY SHOW

Surviving TLC members TIONNE 'T-BOZ' WATKINS and ROZONDA 'CHILLI' THOMAS reunited for their first U.S. concert in seven years on Saturday (17Oct09) following the tragic death of bandmate LISA 'LEFT EYE' LOPES.

The four-time Grammy Award winners, who have made scarce appearances since losing Lopes in a fatal 2002 car accident, united to perform at the Justin Timberlake and Friends concert in Las Vegas to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The stars showed they haven't forgotten their tragic bandmate - Lopes' verses played on a backing track during their performance.

The SexyBack hitmaker sang with Timbaland at the charity spectacular, while Ciara and Jay Sean performed together, and Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift and Snoop Dogg also took to the stage.

Speaking during rehearsals for the show, Timberlake told MTV, "There were a lot of acts this year that weren't able to get here till today, so there weren't as many collaborations as I had in my brain. But still, just having everyone out and getting to see them do their set - there are a couple of things that have never been performed onstage."

The one-off concert raised almost $1 million (£612,220) for the charity and will air in the U.S. on Monday (19Oct09).
