Fugees Cancel Reunion Tour, Citing COVID-19 Difficulties

"If opportunity, public safety, and scheduling allow, we hope to be able to revisit this again sometime soon," said a statement shared by the group

Fugees have cancelled their reunion tour, citing safety and logistical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tour, which was due to see the trio reunite to mark the 25th anniversary of their album The Score, had already been postponed to sometime this year after originally being scheduled for November 2021. Announcing the tour’s cancellation though, a new statement shared by the band said: "We anticipate and understand disappointment but our anniversary tour will not be able to happen. The continued COVID pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves as healthy as possible."

Referencing the group’s one-off appearance together in New York last September, which saw them perform live together for the first time in 15 years, the statement continued: "We’re grateful for the special night we did get to share with some of you in New York, with that rare live moment. If opportunity, public safety, and scheduling allow, we hope to be able to revisit this again sometime soon."
