AceShowbiz - Lauryn Hill and The Fugees are ready to hit the road once again. Months after postponing "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour" due to her "serious vocal strain," the singer/raptress and her band The Fugees announced its new dates.
The tour will kick off in Tampa, Florida on August 9. From there, they will make stops in some cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and more before flying to the U.K. in October.
Lauryn and The Fugees will perform in Manchester on October 12. They will wrap things up on October 22 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The "Doo-Wop (That Thing)" femcee announced the delay in November 2023. "I'd like to start this off by saying how much I've enjoyed being on the road, and how much I appreciate all of the fans who have come out to celebrate this incredible milestone anniversary and history making reunion with us. Being able to tour this album to sold out crowds after 25 years has been an emotional experience!" she wrote in an Instagram post.
"I've loved sharing the stage again with Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel. The Return of the Fugees has been powerful and amazing-those who've witnessed it can testify," she added. "The tour itself reminds us the artists, and the audiences alike of earlier, perhaps less complicated times when 'It could all be so simple…' or 'Ready Or Not, here I come!' were on repeat on the airwaves."
"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," the musician further elaborated. "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."
Lauryn went on to note, "For this reason we have to reschedule most of the remaining shows this year. The shows that were cancelled this year will be rescheduled for early 2024 AND because of the overwhelming response, we'll be adding new cities ato the tour, including overseas." She then emphasized, "We're working on the new calendar now, and announcing soon."
