Auryn Hill has postponed shows in Philadelphia and Texas due to ongoing vocal problems.
The 48-year-old singer, who has been suffering from vocal strain for the past week, postponed her Monday performance at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
“As you may know, I’ve been doing my best to overcome a serious case of vocal strain/injury for the past week or so,” the Grammy winner wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, hours before the concert.
“I have been struggling through the last few shows, pushing my voice and masking the injury with medication. This is not safe or sustainable,” she continued. “I woke up this morning hoping to have enough voice to get through tonight, but I can barely talk, let alone sing or rap.”
The cancellation comes a week after the R&B star’s postponement of a date in Philadelphia. She is currently on her 25th anniversary tour, celebrating her 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
“I need to heal and rest my voice in order to continue the tour. For these reasons, unfortunately, my doctors have advised me to postpone tonight’s show,” Lauryn explained in the post. “Much love to all of you for your support, and I look forward to returning to Texas soon.”
The doo-wop singer has not yet announced the rescheduled dates for the shows.
Lauryn will kick off the tour in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on September 8. She will visit cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta and Miami before wrapping up in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 13.
