Singer song-writer Lauryn Hill has recently postponed remaining tour dates for her The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour. According to Stereogum, Hill has made her decision to postpone the remainder of her tour to next year with the exception of her show in Philadelphia. This is not the only time the singer has postponed her musical performance. She has postponed her Philadelphia show that was supposed to occur last month.
Hill made her decision due to her troubles with vocal strain. She has since posted an announcement regarding her health and her gratefulness 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. [ … ] 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 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
