Killing us softly, indeed. Tampa made it 43 days without a Lauryn Hill concert cancellation.

Late Tuesday afternoon—just three days before it was supposed to kick off in Tampa Bay—Hill’s U.S. tour has apparently been called off.

That’s when Variety says ticket holders started getting refund notices, without any reason for the change in plans. Hill’s mostly inactive social media accounts have yet to address the news, but the show is wiped off the calendar for Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, which was supposed to host the first of 21 American dates on Friday, Aug. 9.

Fans of the eight-time Grammy winning songwriter, rapper and singer are probably used to it by now though. Hill’s reunion tour with The Fugees was originally supposed to land at Tampa’s Amalie Arena last December, but was postponed due to Hill’s vocal strain.

The 49-year-old rescheduled that show 215 days later, but now fans are back to square one and holding the bag just like they were in 2018 when Hill canceled a St. Pete show set for Al Lang Field.

Nothing even matters anymore.
