Lauryn Hill and the Fugees are no longer going on tour in the U.S.
The hip-hop trio, who were scheduled to begin their tour on Friday, quietly canceled the show on Tuesday, according to Variety. Dates were removed from Ticketmaster and expected customers received notices about refunds later that same day, the outlet reported.
There was no word on why the tour was canceled but ticketholders say the received a message from Live Nation stating, “Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon,” per Variety.
Hill and the Fugees were expected to tour through the late summer and fall. In June, the group announced they were extending the now-canceled tour, which celebrated the 25th anniversary of Hill’s 1998 album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” and the Fugees’ hit album “The Score,” according to Variety. Hill’s son, YG Marley, was slated to co-headline all shows.
The 21-date tour had shows scheduled in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and other American cities. Tickets remain on sale for the European leg of the tour, which is scheduled to kick off on Oct. 12 with stops planned in London, Manchester, Paris, and Amsterdam. It’s not yet clear if the European shows will also be canceled.
