Ms. Lauryn Hill was the headline act at New York's Global Citizen festival on Saturday night and she brought her Fugees bandmates on stage as a surprise. Hill recently announced a 25th anniversary tour of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill which will feature Fugees as the opening act.

Hill played a handful of Miseducation... classics at Global Citizen, including "Ex-Factor" and "Everything Is Everything." She was then joined by Pras and Wyclef Jean to run through their Fugees hits “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La.” See below for footage from the night.

Fugees previously shared the stage together at Roots Picnic in Philadelphia in June. In 2021 they had been scheduled to embark on a full The Score anniversary tour but canceled the run of dates after first postponing them due to the pandemic.
