Lauryn Hill Back Onstage

Lauryn Hill returned to performing after a three-year break, on the shows downunder for Andrew McManus Presents’ Raggamuffin tour, which she co-headlined with Shaggy.

Unlike in the US where she canceled shows and seemingly had an onstage meltdown in New Orleans, Hill bonded with the 30,000-strong crowd at the first show in New Zealand Jan. 23 and put in a strong set.

Other acts on Raggamuffin, which also toured Australia, included Steel Pulse, Sly & Robbie and Sean Kingston.
