The singer’s tour with the Fugees was recently canceled
Lauryn Hill’s recent pop-out comes amid her and The Fugees recently making headlines. As The Shadow Room Previously reported, Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras were scheduled to kick off a nationwide tour on August 9. However, three days before the tour was set to begin, the 18-stop event was canceled.
Furthermore, at the time, the reason for the cancellation was still unclear.
On August 8, Hill released a statement addressing the grim update.
With great difficulty, the decision has been made to cancel our upcoming North American tour dates… Last year, I suffered an injury that required the rescheduling of some of my shows,” she said in a post shared via Instagram.
Ultimately, Hill claimed that the media contributed to low ticket sales for the tour, which led to its cancellation.
“Unfortunately, some media outlets’ penchant for sensationalism and sensationalist headlines has apparently created a narrative that has impacted ticket sales for the North American leg of the tour,” she concluded.
