Fugees announce London show to mark 25th Anniversary of ‘The Score’

Fugees are set to reunite to mark the 25th anniversary of their iconic album ‘The Score’.

The trio – Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel – will play their first shows in 15 years and it will be their first world tour in 25 years. Presented by Diaspora Calling and produced by Live Nation the 12 city international tour will stop at London’s The O2 Arena on 6th December, before continuing onto the final shows in Nigeria and Ghana. 

Ms. Lauryn Hill commented: “The Fugees have a complex but impactful history. I wasn’t even aware the 25th anniversary had arrived until someone brought it to my attention. I decided to honor this significant project, its anniversary, and the fans who appreciated the music by creating a peaceful platform where we could unite,  perform the music we loved, and set an example of reconciliation for the world.”

Wyclef adds: “As I celebrate 25 years with the Fugees, my first memory was that we vowed, from the gate, we would not just do music we would be a movement. We would be a voice for the un-heard, and in these challenging times, I am grateful once again, that God has brought us together.”

Fugees charitable fund will partner with Global Citizen to work on philanthropic initiatives around the tour.

‘The Score’ is one of the best-selling and most significant music albums of all time. Upon its release, it peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 charts and earned the group two Grammy Awards. The album featured the hits ‘Killing Me Softly’, ‘Ready Or Not’ and ‘Fu-Gee-La’ and it has sold more than 22 million copies worldwide.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday 24th September at 10am at LiveNation.com.
