The Singer’s Tour With The Fugees Was Recently Canceled
Lauryn Hill’s recent pop-out arrives amid her and The Fugees recently making headlines. As The Shade Room previously reported, Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras were scheduled to kick off a national tour on August 9. However, three days before the tour’s kick-off, the 18-stop event was canceled.
Furthermore, at the time, the reason for the cancelation remained unclear.
On August 8, Hill released a statement addressing the somber update.
With difficulty the decision was made to pull down our upcoming North American tour dates… Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows,” she stated in a post shared via Instagram.
Ultimately, Hill alleged that the media contributed to low ticket sales for the tour, sparking its cancellation.
“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,” she concluded.
