A celebratory tour from Lauryn Hill and The Fugees scheduled to take place throughout the summer and fall has been canceled, according to Variety.

Per the publication, ticket holders received messages from Live Nation on Tuesday (Aug. 6) that reads, “Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.” At the time of publishing, no reason for the cancelation has been given.


The 21-date trek was set to kick off on Friday (Aug. 9) in Tampa, Fla., and stretch throughout the next few months, wrapping up on Oct. 22 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. The tour, which was scheduled to reunite Hill with The Fugees to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Billboard 200 No. 1 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, was also to feature music from The Fugees’ No. 1 album The Score, with Hill’s son YG Marley as the support act.

The Miseducation Anniversary Tour was previously postponed in November after Hill revealed that she was struggling with vocal issues. “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,” she wrote on Instagram at the 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.”
