Hill's son YG Marley, who's best known for his hit song "Praise Jah in the Moonlight," will serve as a special guest at every show. More special guests will be announced at a later date.
A presale for Citi cardmembers will begin Tuesday, June 25, at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com for U.S. shows. General sales will begin Friday, June 28, at 10 a.m. local time.
Per a press release, $2 from each ticket sold will be donated to MLH Fund, which benefits local and worldwide organizations involving mental health, women’s wellness, community small business development, education and more.
In November, the "Doo Wop" singer announced that the remainder of her 25th anniversary tour would be postponed due to her vocal issues.
"I’d like to start this off by saying how much I’ve enjoyed being on the road, and how much I appreciate all of the fans who have come out to celebrate this incredible milestone anniversary and history making reunion with us. Being able to tour this album to sold out crowds after 25 years has been an emotional experience! I’ve loved sharing the stage again with Wyclef and Pras. The Return of the Fugees has been powerful and amazing—those who’ve witnessed it can testify," she wrote on Instagram.
She continued, "As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month. I made it through each show by taking 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."
Meanwhile, in May, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out on top of Apple Music's 100 best albums of all time list. The 1998 Grammy-winning album of the year outranked Beyoncé's Lemonade, The Beatles' Abbey Road, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Prince's Purple Rain, Nirvana's Nevermind, Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city and Frank Ocean's Blonde.
