The
40-year-old has released a statement apologising to her fans, saying
that her 'past legal situation' is preventing her from coming to
England.
It is believed the situation the former Fugees singer is referring to is her conviction for tax evasion in 2013.
Lauryn, who
was due to play at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Wednesday, wrote on
her Facebook page: 'I've been informed that I won't be able to enter the
UK for a period of time due to my past legal situation.
'For
this reason I have to cancel my concert on July 15th.
Know that I was
looking forward to performing in London this summer, and that I
appreciate all of my fans and supporters both in London, and throughout
the UK.
Her fans were understandably upset to hear of the cancellation, with one writing: "Bulls***... they can't hold a queen down!'
Another added: 'No to Lauryn Hill - but Kanye West can come and pollute our ear drums as and when he chooses to.'
The former
Fugees singer was sentenced to three months in prison for tax evasion
after failing to file federal tax returns for her earnings between 2005
and 2007, some $1.8million.
After pleading guilty, she served three months at a prison in Danbury, Connecticut.
Despite now allegedly being barred from entering the UK, she played five gigs in London as recent as September.
The first of the concerts was slammed by many fans and had concertgoers walk out of Brixton Academy in south London.
The
singer turned up 90 minutes late after which she performed heavily
remixed versions of her hits and suffered technical issues.
