Irish Grinstead obituary – Irish Grinstead, a member of the R&B girl group 702, passed away on September 16, 2023, at the age of 43. She was born on June 2, 1980, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Grinstead’s death was announced by her sister and fellow 702 group member, LeMisha Grinstead, in an Instagram post dated September 16:

“It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that my beautiful sister and friend has passed away this evening,”

“She has had a long battle and she is finally at peace. 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.”

Grinstead was best known for her work as a singer in the group 702, which was formed in 1994. The group’s hit song “Where My Girls At?” reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1999.

702 achieved commercial success with hits like “Where My Girls At?” and “Get It Together,” which helped establish them as a prominent girl group in the R&B and hip-hop music scene during that era.

Irish, however, left 702 in 2003 to pursue a solo career. She released her debut solo album, The Life, in 2003. The album was not as commercially successful as 702’s albums, but it received positive reviews from critics.

She also appeared in several films and television shows, including The Parkers, House of Payne, and The Young and the Restless. She also had a recurring role on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

Irish’s passing is a loss for the music industry and her fans. She will be remembered for her contributions to the R&B genre and her impact on the music industry.
