Lauryn Hill is hitting the road.
In the very best sense of that phrase.
First, the veteran singer will be among the many acts performing this Sunday, June 30 at the 2024 BET Awards — as she’s scheduled to do her talented thing alongside her son YG Marley, Ice Spice and Tyla.

From there, Hill will reunite with the Fugees, she announced this week, for a series of tour stops across the globe.
As you might recall, Hill was forced to cancel a number of concerts this past November due to vocal chord strain, saying at the time that the condition was “serious” and it was simply not “safe or sustainable” to continue.
But it now sounds as if the artist is fully recovered.
In celebration of her iconic 1998 solo album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” as well as the group’s smash album of two years earlier, “The Score,” Hill and the Fugees will kick off their upcoming tour in Florida on August 9 and then head to Europe on October 12.
