Final September, all the pieces gave the impression to be going considerably effectively (at the least in comparison with now). Top-of-the-line issues to occur was that after years of squabbling, The Fugees had been lastly placing their variations apart not only for a one-off, however for a complete tour commemorating the twenty fifth anniversary of The Rating. The trio even performed a present in New York (the place they confirmed up three hours late, however hey, who’s counting?)! We had our doubts that the nice occasions had been gonna preserve going, however the Fugees’ first present since 2005 was nice and made our record of the perfect reveals of 2021.
Nevertheless, since we are able to’t have good issues, the Fugees reunion tour disintegrated in January with a ho-hum announcement blaming it on COVID circumstances spiking (although it’s been reported that ticket gross sales weren’t so sizzling). So, they went again at it on their very own.
However, on Friday night time at Essence Competition in New Orleans, there was some excellent news to report. A few half-hour into Wyclef Jean’s set, Ms. Lauryn Hill confirmed as much as carry out a slew of Fugees songs together with “Killing Me Softly,” “How Many Mics,” “Fu-Gee-La,” and “Prepared or Not.” For these hoping that Pras would present up, effectively, sorry! He wasn’t there. Nevertheless, two out of three ain’t dangerous, proper?
