*The U.S. tour featuring Lauryn Hill and the Fugees has been canceled three days before it was set to kick off in Florida on Friday.
Ticketholders were notified about refunds on Tuesday. Variety reports that the cancellation notices did not provide a reason. Hill has not released a statement on social media.
The songstress was planning to hit the road to celebrate her 1998 solo album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” as well as the Fugees’ hit album “The Score.”
Variety reported that the 21-date tour was set to begin August 9 in Tampa, and include stops in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles before the international leg started Oct. 12 in London, Manchester, Paris, and Amsterdam.
Last year, Hill clapped back at criticism over her “tardiness” at shows during her 2023 tour with the Fugees.
“Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this blood ras stage every night,” Hill told the crowd in Los Angeles, (which she was late to), Complex reported. “I don’t do it because they let me do it. I do it because I stand here in the name of God and I do it. God is the one who allows me to do it, who surrounded me with family and community when there was no support.”
She continued, “When the album sold so many records, and no one showed up and said, ‘Hey, would you like to make another one?’ So I went around the world, and I played the same album over and over and over and over again. Because we are survivors, and we’re not just survivors, we’re thrivers.”
Hill hit the road last year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her acclaimed debut album.
“The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is and was a love song to my parents, my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator,” Hill previously shared in a press release. “I wrote love songs and protest songs–(still love songs) about the subjects and interests that inspired and moved me. I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past.”
