Why all these stress when we have great Artists in this country?
Lauryn
Hill was meant to be in Lagos Nigeria on May Day for a Live Concert. But she
didn’t make it.
Lauryn
Hill released a statement via her website to explain why she cancelled her trip
to Nigeria. She put the blame on the organizers of the show
Read what she released via her website
“Hello
Lagos, Nigeria! We are disappointed to report that we will not be performing at
tonight’s concert. From our end, we did everything we were supposed to do,
including waiting at the airport for many hours, ready to fly out and share the
evening with you.
“Unfortunately,
after much effort, the promoter was not able to get all of our travel
arrangements taken care of. This prevented us from being able to fly into
Nigeria in time to make the concert. We were all very excited to come, and very
disappointed that we couldn’t make this one. HOWEVER, we are working to
reschedule our appearance ASAP. From what we’ve been told, the promoter intends
to honor all tickets sold. Our best to and for Lagos. Love and Blessings!”
In the
same vein, organizers of the concert, on Friday night released their own
statement concerning the show.
“Due to
Ms Lauryn Hill‘s flight issues, the organizers of May Day Live and Ms Lauryn
Hill management have concluded to postpone the show. A new date will be
communicated soon. All Tickets bought will be used for the new concert date.
Meanwhile a party will still hold today at Eko Hotel starting from 7pm, feel
free to come and party as no tickets are required.
