A celebratory tour from Lauryn Hill and The Fugees scheduled to take place throughout the summer has been cancelled at short notice.
As reported by Variety, ticket holders received a message from Live Nation on Tuesday 6 August that read, “Your event has been cancelled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.”
No reason for the cancellation has been given.
The trek was set to kick off on Friday 9 August in Tampa, Florida, and stretch throughout the next few months.
So far, the European leg of the tour seems to be going ahead in October, with dates in Manchester on 12 October and London on 14 October.
The tour, which was scheduled to reunite Hill with The Fugees to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their number one album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, was also to feature music from The Fugees’ album The Score, with Hill’s son YG Marley as the support act.
The Miseducation Anniversary Tour was previously postponed in November after Hill revealed that she was struggling with vocal issues.
“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month. I made it through each show by taking prescribed prednisone, but this can be detrimental to the body when taken in large amounts over long periods of time,” she shared on Instagram.
“In order to prevent any long-term negative effect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery.”
