Ms. Lauryn Hill Joins Wyclef Jean to Perform Fugees Songs

Final September, the whole lot appeared to be going considerably properly (not less than in comparison with now). The most effective issues to occur was that after years of squabbling, The Fugees have been lastly placing their variations apart not only for a one-off, however for a complete tour commemorating the twenty fifth anniversary of The Rating. The trio even performed a present in New York (the place they confirmed up three hours late, however hey, who’s counting?). We had our doubts that the nice occasions have been gonna maintain going, however the Fugees’ first present since 2005 was nice and made our listing of one of the best reveals of 2021.

Nonetheless, since we are able to’t have good issues, the Fugees reunion tour disintegrated in January with a ho-hum announcement blaming it on COVID circumstances spiking (although it was reported ticket gross sales weren’t so sizzling). So, they went again at it on their very own.

However on Friday evening at Essence Pageant in New Orleans, there was some excellent news to report. A couple of half-hour into Wyclef Jean’s set, Ms. Lauryn Hill confirmed as much as carry out a slew of Fugees songs together with “Killing Me Softly,” “How Many Mics,” “Fu-Gee-La,” and “Prepared or Not.” For these hoping that Pras would present up, properly, sorry! He wasn’t there. Nonetheless, two out of three ain’t dangerous, proper?

Essence Fest runs via the weekend.
