Lauryn Hill and Fugees have cancelled their tour three days without explanation.
On Tuesday, August 6 ticket holders hoping to catch the 49-year-old R&B singer Lauryn Hill and the iconic hip-hop trio the Fugees received correspondence stating they would be refunded.
Variety reported that the US tour dates have been removed from Ticketmaster.
Disappointed fans took to social media to express frustration over the lack of information regarding the last-minute change.
One person with the handle @PLoJetson wrote on X, ‘IT’S SO DISHEARTENING BEING A FAN OF LAURYN HILL. Last October, an hour before the show in Dallas, it was cancelled with no warning. I tried again this run, even when EVERYONE clowned me [and said] I was foolish for trying.
Cancelled AGAIN. I love Lauryn, man. But damn, yo. DO BETTER.’
Per Variety, others posted screenshots of a message from Live Nation that stated plainly: ‘Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.’
The 18-date North American tour was slated to kick off on Friday in Tampa, Florida.
September dates included stops at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey.
Other cities that have been wiped out without reason include Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston and Milwaukee.
Tickets remain on sale for the overseas portion of the tour, starting with a gig in Manchester, England on October 12.
It ends in Amsterdam on October 22, and also includes London and Paris shows.
It’s unknown whether or not those shows will be cancelled as well.
Lauryn Hill has not made mention of the update on social media and last posted about the tour on June 24.
Hill’s last post on X was on the same day.
She wrote, ‘The Celebration Continues… Artist pre-sale begins Wed, 6/26 at 10am local using code MLH. On-sale begins Fri, 6/28 at 10am.’
It’s the third consecutive year that the group cancelled tour dates, leaving fans heartbroken.
The reunion tour was initially announced in 2021, but was later postponed before being cancelled in January 2022 due to COVID conditions.
Lauryn’s last major performance was at the BET Awards in June.
