Lauryn Hill Apologizes to Scotland Fans For You Can Surely Guess

Leave a comment

At this point if you buy a ticket to a Lauryn Hill concert it should come with a “Buyer Beware” notice because there’s a good chance you’re not going to get your money’s worth.

While we here in the US are all too familiar with the notoriety that is a Lauryn Hill show, the good people of Scotland just learned that punctuation is not a quality that the former Fugees frontwoman is familiar with. This past weekend the rapper/singer was listed as one of the headliners for The Playground Festival in Glasgow, Scotland but when it came time for her set she wasn’t only an hour and change late, but she only rocked out for a few minutes before calling it a night. Needless to say concertgoers were hella upset with her “performance” and took to Twitter to let her know as much.

Looking to contain the fallout from her disastrous set, Lauryn Hill took to Facebook to apologize for showing up late and leaving so soon.

Even after two decades and just one classic debut album Lauryn Hill remains one of the most beloved Hip-Hop artists of the golden era. Imagine how big she could still be if she was consistent with her shows and performances.

It looks like there is some hope for Lauryn Hill. She reportedly was in a much better place for a recent concert.

According to Page Six the Fugees songstress pleased fans during a stop of her Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 20th-anniversary tour. Hill apparently was only fashionably late to her London concert at the O2 Arena on Monday. Reporter for British periodical The Independent Roison Connor wrote “‘She’s on time!’ A ripple of excitement has just gone through the O2 Arena. The lights have dimmed, and Lauryn Hill is as about as ‘on time’ as she’ll ever be – just 20 minutes late.”

Apart from being somewhat punctual her rendition of her classic album was well received by ticket goers. Connor penned that “the former Fugees member’s free-jazz approach to the live set is often scattershot, but it makes the set feel loose and relaxed rather than messy.”

The improved showing came to her fans and the public alike as a pleasant surprise. Over the last five or so years Hill has built a reputation for starting her sets very late, upwards to almost two hours behind schedule. Additionally the rumor is that since she was sued by the album’s ghost producers and lost in 2001 she is not allowed to perform original songs. Thus Ms. Hill has been playing renditions that ticket goers claimed sound nothing like the versions they grew up to.

She has about 20 shows left in the tour, let’s see if she can keep it together.
