Her group members Meelah Williams and Misha Grinstead continued to tour throughout 2023 with fans asking when Misha would return.

Prior to the announcement, Irish and Misha appeared on the hit reality series ‘BET Presents: The Encore’ which saw several 90s R&B stars come together to form a supergroup.

On Saturday night (Sep. 16) her sister and group member Misha took to social media to share the unfortunate news of Irish’s passing.
