R&B女子組合702的成員、熱門(mén)單曲《我的女孩在哪里？》的歌手Irish Grinstead去世。她43歲。

Grinstead's sister and fellow 702 singer Lemisha Grinstead announced the news in an Instagram post alongside a photo of Irish on Saturday.
格林斯特德的姐姐、702歌手萊米莎·格林斯特德周六在Instagram上發(fā)布了這一消息，并附上了一張愛(ài)爾蘭人的照片。

"It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that my beautiful sister and friend has passed away this evening," she wrote. "She has had a long battle and she is finally at peace."
她寫(xiě)道：“我非常悲傷地告訴你，我美麗的姐姐和朋友今晚去世了。”。“她經(jīng)歷了漫長(zhǎng)的斗爭(zhēng)，終于平靜下來(lái)了。”

The post continued, "That girl was as bright as the stars! She was not only beautiful on the outside, but also within. Sharing the stage with her was a joy I will cherish for the rest of my life! We, the family, ask for prayers and respect for our privacy as we grieve an outstanding loss to our family."
帖子繼續(xù)寫(xiě)道：“那個(gè)女孩像星星一樣明亮！她不僅外表美麗，內(nèi)心也美麗。與她同臺(tái)是我余生都會(huì)珍惜的快樂(lè)！我們?nèi)以跒榧胰说木薮髶p失感到悲痛之際，請(qǐng)求祈禱并尊重我們的隱私。”

While Grinstead's cause of death was not disclosed, the group announced in December 2022 that Irish would be taking time away from performing due to "serious medical issues." The singer's death comes 15 years after that of her twin sister, Orish Grinstead, who was part of the group's original lineup before passing away at 27 from kidney failure in 2008.
雖然格林斯特德的死因沒(méi)有透露，但該組合在2022年12月宣布，愛(ài)爾蘭人因“嚴(yán)重的醫(yī)療問(wèn)題”將暫停演出。這位歌手的去世是在她的雙胞胎妹妹奧利什·格林斯特德去世15年后發(fā)生的，奧利什·格林斯特德是該組合最初陣容的一員，2008年因腎衰竭去世，享年27歲。

The Las Vegas–raised Grinstead sisters, who named their girl group after their hometown area code, originally completed their musical group with the addition of Kameelah Williams. Together, they rose to fame in the late '90s following the release of their debut album, No Doubt, in 1996. They garnered attention and critical praise with their first release, which featured early songwriting credits from Missy Elliott, but it was their self-titled sophomore album that truly marked their arrival.
拉斯維加斯長(zhǎng)大的格林斯特德姐妹以家鄉(xiāng)的區(qū)號(hào)命名她們的女子組合，最初是在卡米拉·威廉姆斯的加入下完成了她們的音樂(lè)組合。在1996年發(fā)行首張專(zhuān)輯《毋庸置疑》后，他們?cè)?0年代末一起成名。他們的第一張專(zhuān)輯獲得了關(guān)注和評(píng)論界的贊譽(yù)，其中包括米西·埃利奧特早期的歌曲創(chuàng)作，但真正標(biāo)志著他們到來(lái)的是他們的二年級(jí)同名專(zhuān)輯。

702 featured the trio's best-known track, the 1999 single "Where My Girls At?," which was produced and co-written by Elliott and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group would release one more album, Star, and appear on the Pootie Tang and Good Burger soundtracks before they disbanded in the mid-2000s. Other members of the ensemble throughout the years included Amelia Cruz, Cree Le'More, and Tiffany Villarreal.
702收錄了三人組最著名的曲目，1999年的單曲《我的女孩們?cè)谀睦?？》，該單曲由埃利奧特制作和聯(lián)合創(chuàng)作，在公告牌熱門(mén)100榜單上排名第4。該組合將再發(fā)行一張專(zhuān)輯《Star》，并在2000年代中期解散之前出現(xiàn)在Pootie Tang和Good Burger的原聲音樂(lè)中。多年來(lái)，樂(lè)團(tuán)的其他成員包括艾米莉亞·克魯茲、克里·勒莫爾和蒂芬妮·維拉里爾。

The Grinstead sisters and Williams regrouped in 2017, performed at that year's Soul Train Music Awards, and signed on for the reality show BET Presents: The Encore. Irish stepped away from the group in 2022 for a medical leave.
格林斯特德姐妹和威廉姆斯于2017年重新組合，在當(dāng)年的靈魂列車(chē)音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)上表演，并簽約參加真人秀《BET Presents:The Encore》。愛(ài)爾蘭人于2022年因病假離開(kāi)了該團(tuán)體。

Elliott was among those who paid tribute to Grinstead on social media, writing, "Irish, may your beautiful soul rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord. A multitude of prayers for the entire Grinstead family."
埃利奧特是在社交媒體上向格林斯特德致敬的人之一，他寫(xiě)道：“愛(ài)爾蘭人，愿你美麗的靈魂在上帝的懷抱中安息。為整個(gè)格林斯特德家族祈禱。”

Williams also shared a photo of Irish and remembered both Grinstead sisters in an Instagram tribute. "I struggled with this post because to me this isn't real," she wrote. "There's a lot I want to say, but there's no way to say what your heart hasn't fully accepted. It's hard to acknowledge this is even happening. I know you're feeling better now and hugging your twin, Orish, which makes me smile 'cuz I know how much you missed her."
威廉姆斯還分享了一張愛(ài)爾蘭人的照片，并在Instagram上向格林斯特德姐妹致敬。她寫(xiě)道：“我在這篇帖子上很吃力，因?yàn)閷?duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)這不是真的。”。“我有很多話想說(shuō)，但無(wú)法說(shuō)出你的心還沒(méi)有完全接受什么。甚至很難承認(rèn)這正在發(fā)生。我知道你現(xiàn)在感覺(jué)好多了，擁抱你的雙胞胎奧利什，這讓我笑了，因?yàn)槲抑滥阌卸嗝聪肽钏?rdquo;

She added, "You and I have known each other since we were kids, and we've laughed, cried, celebrated, and everything in between, which is why I just don't want to believe this. You'll always be my 'IBG' and I still love you, my forever lil sis!!! Rest easy, Irish."
她補(bǔ)充道：“你和我從小就認(rèn)識(shí)，我們笑過(guò)、哭過(guò)、慶祝過(guò)，還有其間的一切，這就是為什么我不想相信這一點(diǎn)。你永遠(yuǎn)是我的‘IBG’，我仍然愛(ài)你，我永遠(yuǎn)的小妹妹！！愛(ài)爾蘭人，放心吧。”
