Ms. Lauryn Hill Postpones Philadelphia Concert Date Citing Doctor Ordered Vocal Rest

“The new date for Philadelphia will be Nov. 25,” the singer announced on social media.

Ms. Lauryn Hill is following the doctor’s orders and is taking a quick break.

On Sunday, (Oct 24,) the “Ex-Factor” singer, presently on tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her Grammy-winning debut studio album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” announced that she was postponing the Philadelphia stop of her concert series, citing vocal rest.

“It is with disappointment that I am writing this note to you. On the advice of my physicians, I have no choice but to postpone the show tomorrow,” the 48-year-old wrote in a memo posted to social media. “I need to rest my voice to prevent any more serious strain or damage to my vocal cords.”

Ms. Hill wrapped up her post by telling waiting fans in Toronto, CA, “I’ll see you next. Resting for a few days then heading your way.”
