August 7th 2024.
Lauryn Hill and The Fugees have made a sudden announcement that has left fans disappointed. The highly anticipated Miseducation Anniversary Tour 2024, which was set to begin in Tampa, Florida on August 9 and continue across the US and Europe, has been cancelled. The news came as a shock to many, as no explanation was given by Lauryn, 49, or the 90s group, which consists of Lauryn, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel.
According to reports, ticketholders received a message from event organisers Live Nation, informing them of the cancellation and assuring them that they will be refunded. The email read, "Your event has been cancelled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon." However, there was no further explanation given for the sudden change of plans.
It is uncertain if the entire tour will be cancelled, as the European leg is set to kick off in Manchester on October 12, followed by a London gig on October 14, Paris on October 18, and concluding in Amsterdam on October 20. The Fugees rose to fame in the 90s with their hit album, The Score, which garnered multiple Grammy awards and solidified their place in the music industry.
Lauryn, who is known for her groundbreaking album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, made history in 1999 by becoming the first person to win Album of the Year with a rap album at the Grammys. This tour was meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her album, with support from YG Marley. However, the tour was previously postponed in November due to Lauryn's vocal strain.
In an Instagram post, Lauryn shared that she had been battling vocal issues for a month and had been relying on prescribed medication to help her get through each show. However, she realized that this was not a sustainable solution and she needed to take time off for vocal recovery.
Fans have taken the cancellation with a mixture of disappointment and amusement, as this is not the first time Lauryn has caused a stir with her gigs. She is known for being notoriously late and even poking fun at her lateness during a previous performance. Fans have expressed their frustration and joked about the "universal constant" of Lauryn Hill and gig drama.
The Agency has reached out to Live Nation and Lauryn's representatives for a comment on the cancellation. It seems like this is not the end of the story, and fans will have to wait for further updates on the fate of the tour. As for now, fans can only hope for an explanation for this sudden and unexpected turn of events.
