Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest.

Let’s get that out the way.

Outside of her classic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, she has released rap tunes and Unplugged performances to get fans through life.

Which is why it can be so disappointing when her shows take a turn for the negative.

For example, Lauryn has already canceled several dates on her Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour, including her Wednesday show in Charlotte, North Carolina, her Thursday show in Raleigh, her Sunday show in St. Petersburg, Florida, her August 2 show in Jacksonville, Florida, and her August 17 show in Bristow, Virginia.

According to Tampa Bay Times, her Tuesday, July 31 date in Miami has been rescheduled to October 15, while her July 5 concert in Virginia Beach has been pushed back to August 15, according to The Virginia Pilot. Live Nation said the canceling and rescheduling was due to “unforeseen production issues.”

All of this comes just days after a tragic show in Toronto where L Boogie was over an hour late and only performed for 45 minutes (for a nearly two hour set).

*Sigh*

Considering Lauryn’s long track record of being late, fans shouldn’t be surprised by this news. But that doesn’t stop us from going through our own grieving process!

Swipe through for the six stages of grief when Ms. Hill hits us with the cancel button or is over an hour late to her own show!

1. Denial

Lauryn Hill is going on tour again?! She’s bringing who and what with her?! She did a remix of what?!

OMGGG!!!

…forget that one time she was three hours late to a show.

2. Anxiety 

Aight, it’s one minute past 9. No big. Anyone could be one minute late.

Wait, 30 minutes have passed? An hour? Is my watch right? Is your watch right?

3. Shame

Why did I think this time would be different?!

Why did I think Lauryn would make a special exception for me!?

4. Anger

I’m over Lauryn Hill!

5. Miseducation

I’m so hurt…I’m so devastated…I’m so distraught….only one song can heal my wounds!

6. Forgiveness

Aight, I forgive her or whatever.

I just don’t plan on paying for any of her concerts.

…I think.
