Lauryn Hill is finally breaking her silence on the surprise cancellation of the North American leg of the Fugees reunion tour — Turns out, it came down to low ticket sales.
In a social media statement, the singer pointed to skewed, clickbait press headlines about an injury that forced her to reschedule her tour last year … claiming they created a negative narrative that turned people off from buying tickets.

As you can tell, Lauryn was seriously pissed off … explaining her trust and commitment to her art were overshadowed by this frustrating portrayal — and no one’s more disappointed than she is about not being able to perform.
Lauryn reassured Stateside fans they’ll be back in full force in the future … but made it clear she’s still full steam ahead with the UK and Europe shows in Oct.
This gave her disappointed fans some much-needed answers — something they didn’t get Wednesday when the late summer and fall dates were abruptly canceled.
Full refunds were issued for the 18-date tour … which was set to kick off Friday in Tampa and run through mid-September.
