The short life and fast times of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes will be on display when with"VH1 Rock Docs: Last Days Of Left Eye" premiering May 19 at 9 PM ET/PT.

VH1 goes behind the scenes and digs deep in paying homage to the hip-pop artist who fronted the 1990s supergroup TLC before her untimely death five years ago in a tragic car accident.

According to a network spokesperson, the Lauren Lazin-directed documentary is filled with exclusive and never before seen footage captures the final month of her life.

"She documented her final days in journals and private home movies shot at her spiritual retreat deep in the jungle of Honduras," the rep confirmed. "During this month Lisa reflected on her triumphs and mistakes with an eye towards the spiritual transformation she so desperately sought."

At the time of her death, Lopes, 31, was estranged from group members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. She was embarking on a fledgling solo career and was professionally linked to the beleaguered Death Row Records empire, helmed by Suge Knight.

TLC, formed in 1991 in Atlanta was signed to LaFace Records and produced by super-hit-maker Dallas Austin. With hit singles such as 'What About Your Friends,' 'Baby -Baby- Baby,' 'Creep,' 'Red Light Special,' and 'Waterfalls,' the trio became the biggest selling girl group of all times.

Lopes's personal life was just as much of the TLC story as their success.

From the torching of her football star boyfriend Andre Rison's mansion and her substance abuse to her very public challenge to fellow group members to compete with solo projects, there was never a dull moment with her liverly and sometimes bawdy spirit.
