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.
