Not so good news for Lauryn Hill fans. The singer has recently announced the postponement of several dates of her highly anticipated 25th anniversary tour celebrating her iconic album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” This news was shared by Hill herself on various social media platforms.
The decision to postpone the remaining tour dates was made due to vocal strain experienced by the entertainer. As a performer known for her powerful and soulful voice, it is important for her to prioritize her vocal health and ensure that she can deliver the best possible performances for her fans.
“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,” she began saying in her post. “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 have been nothing but…wait for it…EPIC. (I almost said classic again! 
)”
She continued, “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 canceled 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.”
Before concluding, Hill noted that the show that is coming up in Philadelphia will still be 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!”
While this announcement may come as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting these shows, many seem to be understating as vocal strain can have long-term effects if not properly addressed. Ultimately they’re happy that she’s taking care of herself.
