Cousins! The highly anticipated Fugees and Lauryn Hill tour has officially been canceled. As the concert’s termination took place without a peep just three days before their first scheduled performance, fans have been in an uproar on social media!
According to Variety fans were notified by Ticketmaster on Tuesday evening August 6th as they issued a short and direct announcement that refunds would be issued.
The tour was set to kick off begin on Friday August 8th in Tampa, with the American leg coming to an end at the Hollywood Bowl on Sept. 17. Shows in New York and New Jersey were scheduled for Sept. 20-21.
The tour was set to hit other cities such as Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston and Milwaukee with a total of 18 stops in the U.S.
After a few weeks off the group would pick back up in Manchester, England on Oct. 12 and end in Amsterdam on Oct. 22. They were also set to perform in London and Paris.
It has been indicated that there were no additional details forwarded as to why the late summer and fall tour was canceled.
Reports read that this is the third year in a row that Lauryn and fellow Fugee members have canceled either some or all of their tour dates.
“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month,” said Lauryn in November 2023 as she toured with the Fugees.
“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. In order to prevent any long term negative affect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery so that I can discontinue the medication completely.”
She said that the remaining tour dates would pick up in 2024.
Social media users have poked fun throughout the years of Lauryn’s tardiness or simply not showing up to scheduled performances. Since the news of the cancelation, online users have kept the same energy while joking that the group wasn’t fooling anyone with the now-canceled tour.
