Wyclef Jean has confirmed that the Fugees are resuming their reunion tour after overcoming past issues.
“I would say to everybody we’re picking back up on the Fugees tour this year,” he said. “If you missed the Fugees last year, catch the Fugees this year.”
The Fugees initiated a reunion tour in 2021 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their second studio album, The Score. Unfortunately, the tour was initially postponed to 2022 and ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, The Fugees reunited for Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation anniversary tour, but in November 2023, Hill postponed the rest of the tour due to “serious vocal strain.”
“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month,” she wrote on Instagram. “I made it through each show by taking the 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 affect 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.”
In addition to the tour, Wyclef said that he has a few new projects in the works, including a new movie and music with Lil’ Wayne.
“Another big thing I’m excited about is my Netflix movie called Prince of Port au Prince, which is based on my childhood and how I escaped poverty through imagination, so look out for that.”
He continued. “That’s going to be amazing. Me and Lil Wayne, we’re in the studio working on some secret, cool music. So, yeah, a lot of good things to look out for in 2024. We’re coming for sure. 100 percent.”
