Lauryn Hill returning to Zion

Former Fugees star Lauryn Hill is heading back to Israel.

The hip-hop singer/songwriter will perform hits from the Fugees and Bob Marley classics at a May 7 concert in Rishon Lezion, reported Ynet. Hill last performed in Israel in 2007, to less-than-stellar reviews.

Hill, who is best known from her Fugees years and for her solo album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” hasn’t released a new album in 15 years.

It was Hill’s rendition of “Killing Me Softly” on the Fugees album “The Score,” that brought her a first round of fame. Her solo album received much critical acclaim, selling some eight million copies and winning five awards at the 41st Grammy Awards.

But she soon dropped out of the public eye, occasionally reappearing in festivals and for single performances.

In 2012, Hill pled guilty to tax evasion for failure to pay federal income taxes, and in 2013, served a three-month prison sentence.

At the time of her sentence, Hill wrote on Tumblr that she had gone “underground” and had rejected pop culture’s “climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism.”

She explained that she stopped paying federal taxes when it was necessary for her to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of her and her family.

Five of Hill’s six children are with Rohan Marley, son of the reggae legend.

On May 4, 2013, several days before the start of her three-month prison sentence, Hill released her first official single in over a decade, “Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix).”

In October 2013, upon her release from prison, she put out a single called “Consumerism,” completed during her incarceration.

Tickets for the concert will range from NIS 219 to NIS 499.
