Lauryn Hill and Fugees have cancelled their co-headlining tour
Just days before it was meant to kick off, Lauryn Hill and Fugees have cancelled their co-headlining tour without explanation.
Kicking off on 9 August in Tampa, the 21-date tour was set to include US shows in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and more along with international dates in London, Manchester, Paris and Amsterdam. The Fugees were announced to co-headline all dates with Hill's son YG Marley joining as support.
It has been revealed that the US shows have been cancelled three days ahead of its kick off. Ticketmaster has reportedly messaged ticket holders, “Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.”

Noting that Lauryn Hill is known for turning up on stage late, or cancelling performances last minute, fans have been reacting to the news. "Hearing The Fugees cancelled their world tour 3 days before it was meant to start. If you booked anything Lauryn Hill related I don’t feel sorry for you. Booking tickets to see Lauryn Hill is literally playing Russian Roulette," one person wrote.
Another person said: "Look, I love Ms. Lauryn Hill. I would love to see her and/or The Fugees live. But at this point, knowing what we know, if you spend money on tickets for a concert… don’t expect to actually see the act."
