## Summary

Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean have said fans should “absolutely” expect new music, signalling a renewed creative partnership between the former Fugees bandmates. Their comments come as they reunite for Hill’s Diaspora Calling! festival in Milton Keynes, and follow years of intermittent performances together despite the group’s long-running tensions.

The Fugees released two studio albums, including 1996’s acclaimed ‘The Score’, before splitting in 1997; they have not made an album together for 30 years. A planned US tour was cancelled in 2024 before Pras Michel sued Hill, allegations she rejected as baseless; Michel was later sentenced to 14 years in prison over a Malaysian money-laundering case and has said he is finished with the group.
