Grammy award winning singer, Lauryn Hill was scheduled alongside a 20-man band to perform at the inaugural May Day Live concert in Lagos yesterday but had to cancel because the promoters failed to purchase the flight tickets for her and her entourage. The concert which was scheduled to take place at Eko Hotels & Suites, would have seen Ms Hill performing for the first time to her Nigerian fans.
In a message posted on the singer's Facebook page yesterday, Hill and her team issued an apology for missing the show.....
Read the written apology and watch the video after the jump!!!
"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 arrangement taken care of. This prevented us from being able to fly to 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 addition to the written apology, the artist, also shared an acoustic apology...."Hello Lagos. We are very sorry, we couldn't be there tonight. We were at the airport for seven hours yesterday trying to get to you. But we're going to make it there, we're gonna to get there" she said before playing the 'Miseducation' classic, Doo Wop (That Thing)
PLEASE WATCH!!!!!!
