One of the biggest-selling bands of the ’90s thanks to their almost impossibly huge 1996 album The Score, hip-pop titans the Fugees stormed the charts and hearts of the world via classic singles like “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready or Not,” and their ultra-charismatic members Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and, to a certain extent, Pras. Although the group technically limped on for some time afterwards, they never made another record, with Hill and Jean each scoring massive solo albums in the wake of The Score and general acrimony descending thereafter—they disbanded in 2005.
Anyway, long story short, the band is getting back together for a short-ish international concert tour to celebrate The Score’s 25th anniversary, and one of the dates is the Forum, and it’s coming around soon: March 27, 2022 (the show was originally slated for November 12, 2021). While it’ll be morbidly fascinating to see whether the band can keep their various simmering tensions in check, it should undoubtedly be a night of immaculate anthems performed by what are still three of the most charismatic performers in the biz.
