American singer Lauryn Hill has revealed she will not be in
Lagos tonight for the May Day Live concert which holds at
the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos. According to her, she tried
all her best to make it to Nigeria today for the show, but the
promoter failed on his part. Below is what she wrote on her
official website apologising to her fans in Nigeria about her
painful absence and the next step.
"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," the statement began.
'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! Ms.
Lauryn Hill and the MLH band and Production Team,' the
statement reads in full.
