Fugees cancel reunion tour over COVID concerns

But now that it’s 2022 and things aren’t all that much better, the Fugees have decided to just go ahead and cancel the whole tour. In other words, the pessimists who said it would never happen were right, again. In an Instagram post, the trio said that the “continued COVID pandemic has made touring conditions difficult” and that they “want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe.” The statement goes on to suggest that it’s just not the right time for them to revisit The Score, and it ends by saying that, “if opportunity, public safety, and scheduling allow, we hope to be able to revisit this again sometime soon.”

Variety notes that “many of the dates” for the rescheduled 2022 shows “had very light ticket sales,” indicating that many fans around the world possibly weren’t ready to face COVID even to see a Fugees show, which Variety says “probably contributed to the decision to cancel.”

As indicated by the Instagram statement, there’s word on when this The Score tour will happen, but it’s really an “if” now instead of a “when.” That means we can all go back to the safety of assuming that the Fugees will, again, never get back together.
