Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins (l.) and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas of TLC at the 2008 BET Awards. They're reuniting for their first U.S. show in 7 years
TLC, one of the biggest girl groups of all time, will play their first show in America in seven years, for a good cause - and for Justin Timberlake.
The surviving members of the group will perform at the "Justin Timberlake and Friends" concert at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center on October 17th.
The concert benefits the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The long sidelined group will reunite Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins with Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Third member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez died in a car accident back in 2002.
Watkins recently resurfaced in a cameo appearance on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," a reality show based in the city she has long called home.
Besides TLC and Timberlake, the Las Vegas concert will also feature country teen star Taylor Swift, plus singers Alicia Keys and Ciara. Tickets go on sale Saturday.
The benefit concert highlights a week-long golf tournament hosted by Timberlake, to be held in Las Vegas October 11th through the 18th.
In their '90s heyday, TLC sold tens of millions of albums and won four Grammys.
