Lauryn Hill and The Fugees have quietly canceled their 2024 tour.
According to reports, the tour was set to kick off August 9th in Florida. There has been no explanation of why the tour was canceled as of yet. However, ticketholders did receive a message reading, “your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.”
Social media users were obviously disappointed in the announcement.. or lack thereof.
Lauryn Hill previously opened up about the tour. In a statement, the “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” singer said: “I’ve almost felt compelled to carry a torch or to keep a light shining regarding the continual performance of the Miseducation album.”
She continued: “I believe there’s been a reason for that—and the Fugees coming back together for performances too feels like unfinished business we’re destined to handle. The connections are real and uncanny, and the magic and synergy between us has not been deterred by time.”
“I believe the messages that we and the art we made embody something moving, meaningful, and important for us and for the world. We gave voice and image to possibilities that emblazoned so many musical directions after us. As we were inspired, we also inspired countless artists who have shown up to express themselves in this musical space.”
“Both the Miseducation and the Fugees’ material challenged and expanded convention, by paying homage to the past, while richly embracing the present, and emblazoning the trail for the future. We represent not just ourselves but our influences and our peers who took art, culture, and inspiration very seriously—- who reshaped the landscape for ourselves and for those who would follow after us. I’m grateful to be able to celebrate this classic material and re-present it to an audience in this time.”
