Ms. Lauryn Hill has postponed most of the remaining dates of her 25th anniversary tour celebrating The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” announced Hill on social media. She explained, “I have been battling serious vocal strain for the past month.”
To fully recover, she will reschedule the remaining 2023 concerts for early next year, except for her November 25 concert in Philadelphia, which she assured fans is still happening.
Hill mentioned that the rescheduled dates will include additional cities and some overseas dates, although a new itinerary has not been detailed. Hill kicked off the Miseducation anniversary tour in September, co-headlining concerts with the reunited Fugees.
However, a few dates into the trek, she had to postpone her October 23 concert at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Arena, citing the need to rest her voice “to prevent any more serious strain or damage to [her] vocal cords.” She also had to cancel her show in Fort Worth, Texas, on October 30, stating on social media, “I fought through the last couple shows, pushing my voice, and masking the injury with medication. This isn’t safe or sustainable.”
In Tuesday’s post, Hill mentioned that she “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 added that, in addition to resting her vocal cords, she needs to get to a state where she can “discontinue the medication completely.”
