nme.comFugees hosted a surprise reunion as part of a Ms. Lauryn Hill gig in Philadelphia last night (June 2) – see what went down below.Hill was playing a set as part of The Roots‘ festival The Roots Picnic, performing her classic album ‘The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill’ in full to celebrate its 25th anniversary.As well as The Roots serving as Hill’s backing band for the performance, she was then joined by Fugees bandmates Pras Michel and Wyclef Jean to perform six tracks including ‘Killing Me Softly’, ‘Ready Or Not’ and ‘Zealots’.The unexpected mini-reunion came after the band cancelled their planned 25th anniversary tour in January 2022, with Pras Michel then convicted for his involvement in a billion-dollar Malaysian money laundering scheme in April.The group said at the time of the cancellation that the “continued Covid pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe,” though reports had emerged that the dates were in jeopardy due to Michel’s legal issues, with the Department of Justice confirming that Michel’s passport was handed over as a result of the case.See footage from the Philadephia reunion below.We are living for this reunion of The Fugees at #RootsPicnic.
