Lauryn Hill Cancels European Tour Dates For Health Reasons

STOCKHOLM — Festival organizers say hip-hop and R&B singer Lauryn Hill has canceled all tour dates in Europe this summer for health reasons.

Stockholm Jazz Festival spokeswoman Liisa Tolonen says the artist's agent informed the festival late Tuesday that all performances in Europe by the former Fugees singer have been canceled. This includes shows in Sweden, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Austria.

Tolonen said Wednesday the agent cited health reasons for the cancellation but declined to give more details.

The tour would have marked a comeback to stage by Hill who has kept a low public profile in recent years. She was the planned headline act for The Stockholm Jazz Festival, one of Sweden's biggest music events.

Take care of yourself, sis. come back!!

This chick is broken. She as magnificent in her prime, but dealing with Marley has destroyed her and turned her into some kind of wraith-like shadow of her former self.

Even her physical appearance shows her looking withered and dramatically aged far beyond anything like childbirth or the passage of a few years should be able to visit upon her body.

I hope she gets it together, because she has influenced so many of the current crop of singers today that it would be a shame if her voice and style are never to be seen in rare form again.

But she's looking rather Whitney Houstonish these last few years.

Greatest female artist eva...of any generation­... except Nina Simone.

MYSTERY by Lauryn Hill

Ya'll can't handle the truth in a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors
Witness despised
Crooked lawyers
False Indictments publicized
Its entertainm­ent...the arraignments
The subpoenas
High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas
Enter the Dragon
Black-robe crooked-balance
Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents
Court reporter catch the surface on the paper
File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous
Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"
Cross-examined by a master manipulator
The faster intimidator
Receiving the judge's favor
Deceiving sabers doing injury to they neighbors
For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers
See the bailiff
Representing security
Holding the word of God soliciting perjury
The prosecution
Political prostitution
The more money you pay.. the further away solution
Legal actors
Babylon's benefactors
Masquerading as the agency for the clients
Hypocritical giants
Morally non-compliant
Only two positions:
Victimizer or Victim
Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece
of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door
Insanity every floor
Skyscraping, paper chasing
What are we working for?
Empty traditions
Reaching social positions

Her dear friend Heroin must have stopped by for a visit. That is why she dropped from view after her only hit single.

[Aabby]

only hit single? are you KIDDING???? There was not a non hit in the entire album of ‘The Miseducation’ – She’s like King Midas because everything she touches turns to gold.

gett better please, Lauryn.

[MorpheusXNYC]

Yeah, you're smoking doobies there, Moonflower.

Lauryn Hill has had a massive string of hits with the Fugees and solo.

Her Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album was a monstrously successful hit machine..

[Modupe Oherein]

Its so unfortunate i read an article about her in RD about a year before. It was very pathetic, she needs to get away from the marley guy. She needs a real intervention.

[rongbeech]

I swear to God, I thought it was Oprah.

[PuddinPie]

Same here.

[clbrown3]

[psychmaj323]

She's always canceling, I hope she gets better ,whatever the reason.

[Tanyars5]

Her voice was one of the best. Hopefully, she will get better.
Luv the Fugees

[HC4BO]

Are you sure the other picture is not of a younger, skinnier Oprah ????

[NoSillyName]

Looks like Ms. O!

[kimest3e]

She might want to cut Rohan loose.

[SuperBucky]

So sad that she has thrown away a music career..

[Madampotential]

I can't stand when they but beyonce in the same category as her just because she won the same amount of grammys.

MUSIC by Lauryn Hill
Lauryn)
Colors of sound
Scales of Beauty
Audio scenery
Electric love
Rhythmic symmetry
Written in memory
Beautifully crafted scenery
Complex or simplicity
Sonic energy
Piercing insensitivity
Sympathetic poetry
For some even identity
Collective entity
Something to belong to
A source of energy
The possibilities
Wave lengths and bandwith
Higher vibration
Energizing entire lands with
Something to stand with
Or stand for
Lovers to walk hand and hand with
then olan for
Sanctuary chords
Harmony, melodies, even riffs can be
Disguised human essence
Sonically bottled ecstasy
Or melancholoy
Agony blues angst
Exercising anxieties
Fueling entire societies
Making economies
Stimulating generating
Inspiration synonymously
Entertaining expression
Intangible invisible but undeniable
Plays the language of survival
Some call it tribal
But perspective is everything
Connected to everything
Some cay collectively everything

[misszanna]

Oprah looks different in this picture.

[LiteSleeper]
