Synopsis

They went bankrupt. One of them nearly died. Another one burned down a mansion. And that was just the first four years.TLC: The Final Chapter picks up where the first Behind The Music: TLC left off, chronicling the alternately triumphant and tragic second half of the TLC story. Beginning with the release of 1999's multi-platinum Fanmail LP, this one hour documentary follows Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas on a five year journey through ego-clashes, backstage blowouts, romance, weddings, births, sickness, breakups, makeups and, ultimately, death.With new interviews from T-Boz and Chilli (as well as those close to the trio), TLC: The Final Chapter uncovers the drama and heartache behind the greatest selling female act in musical history. As with no other group in the annals of Behind the Music, TLC truly merit a sequel. This second installment details:Lisa's nagging solo aspirations and how they threatened the core of the TLC sisterhoodThe infamous "Challenge" letter in Entertainment Weekly in which she dared her groupmates to outsell her solo album with albums of their own.Tionne's marriage to hardcore emcee Mac-10 and her near-death experience following the birth of their first child.Chilli's romance with R&B heartthrob Usher . a boy nearly ten years her junior. Lisa's spiritual cleansing with an herbal guru and, ultimately, her tragic death in a car crash outside his Honduras retreat.TLC: The Final Chapter is a candid look inside America's favorite threesome as they struggle to balance fame, family, platinum highs, and unthinkable lows. New interviews with both associates (producer Dallas Austin, ex-Arista boss LA Reid) as well as the Lopes family, will offer fresh insight on a turbulent five year trip, from 1999's Fanmail to 2002's 3-D (completed after Lisa's death) to their new greatest hits set, a ten year retrospective of TLC hits from "Ain't 2 Proud to Beg" to "Waterfalls" to "No Scrubs."
