Lauryn Hill is putting a pause on touring.
The singer made headlines earlier this month when her trademark tardiness struck again and she informed the capacity crowd and critics alike that “y’all lucky I make it.”
Well, now, it appears there’s more context.
For, Hill has announced that she’s postponing the ‘Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour’ due to health issues.
Full story below…
In an open letter, the singer – who reunited with the Fugees on the trek – revealed that she’s suffering from “vocal strain” and will be postponing all but one show:

“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! I’ve loved sharing the stage again with Wyclef and Pras. The Return of the Fugees has been powerful and amazing—those who’ve witnessed it can testify. 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. Simply put, classic. Classic music, classic performances with audiences who love those classics has been nothing but…wait for it…EPIC. (I almost said classic again! 🙀)
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. 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.
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 to the tour, including overseas.
We’re working on the new calendar now, and announcing soon.The show in PHILLY this weekend IS STILL HAPPENING. We already had to move this show once and being so close to New Jersey, it’s basically hometown for us—so we’ll close out the year with one final show amongst friends and family!
We want to thank everyone who celebrated with us—EVERY👏🏾SINGLE👏🏾 FAN👏🏾 …and ALL band, crew, production, staff, family, friends and Day 1-OG-CAMP members who helped make each and every single night LEGENDARY!
We’re ALL looking forward to getting back out again next year to finish this EPIC (now extended anniversary) celebration of these CLASSICS. 🙀❤️🔥
♥️MLH”
Here’s wishing Lauryn a speedy recovery.
Get healthy cause you can’t really preform and take money from people like that.
Beyonce would never
Beyonce rather have another miscarriage before she miss a show
Facts.
Beyonce is a consummate PROFESSIONAL so yeah you’re right she would never.
She’s a money hungry, fame hungry narcissist whose drug of choice is the spotlight. She would eat her own young before missing a show.
The fact that people still spend their hard earned coins to see Lauryn Hill live in 2023 blows my MIND!! She already told yall that yall are lucky she shows up to perform at all😭😭😭 Ain’t gotta worry about ME sis. My mom saw her live like 10 years ago and she was pulling the same stunts back then. Girl bye lol
of course she does
next please….. nobody will pay to see this s***
Hope Lauryn heals her vocal cords and is able to push through
She’s too egotistical to get vocal lessons which would prevent this from occurring.
Her letter actually sounds sincere 🤧
Take care of yourself first baby
