Lauryn Hill reveals why she and The Fugees have quietly canceled their 2024 tour.
According to reports, the tour was set to kick off August 9th in Florida.
Ms. Hill shared a statement via Instagram revealing why the tour is no longer. “Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows,” Hill wrote. “Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour. The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal.”
She goes on to say the show will continue overseas. “The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performance yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years!”
“Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.”
She adds, “Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you!”
North American Tour Dates
She assures her U.S. fans that when the time is right, the group will be back. “We’re looking forward to performing at the shows in the UK and Europe in October — and for our fans in North America, when these unforeseen circumstances are resolved, we’ll be back in full force.”
She signs the message “With Love, Respect and Honesty.”
