LOS ANGELES — Lauryn Hill is canceling a planned performance in Tel Aviv because she wasn’t able to also schedule a concert in the nearby Palestinian city of Ramallah.
The singer-songwriter said in a statement Monday that she originally intended to perform in both cities in hopes of being “a presence supporting justice and peace.”
Not wanting to alienate fans, Hill canceled her concert in Israel that was to take place later this week. Hill says she’s hoping for healing in the area and “the openness necessary for lasting resolution and reconciliation.”
