The “Ready or Not” singer posted the Instagram announcement on Tuesday, November 21.
“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month,” she wrote. “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 effect 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.”
She continued, “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.”
Hill confirmed that the Philadelphia show set for this weekend would continue because it was close to home and would be the show that closes out the year.
She expressed her gratitude for the support for the anniversary tour and explained how it had been an emotional experience for her.
“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,” Hill gushed. “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,” the “Killing Me Softly With His Song” hitmaker continued. “Simply put, classic. Classic music, classic performances with audiences who love those classics have been nothing but…wait for it…EPIC.”
