The "Ready or Not" performer, 49, had previously postponed the tour in November 2023 due to vocal issues.
In June, Hill announced the news on Instagram that they would be heading out on a 21-date tour, which would feature music from The Miseducation of Ms. Lauryn Hill, The Score and more.
She shared a tour poster with the caption: "The Celebration Continues…"
The shows were set to kick off on Aug. 9 in Tampa, Florida. The artists were supposed to perform in major cities throughout the United States and make international stops in London, Paris and Amsterdam.
Hill's son YG Marley was supposed to appear as a special guest at each concert, and more special guests were to be announced at a later date.
When the "Doo Wop" singer announced that the remainder of her 25th anniversary tour would be postponed due to her vocal issues in November, she posted a lengthy Instagram post to fans describing her health condition.
"I’d like to start this off by saying how much I’ve enjoyed being on the road, and how much I appreciate all of the fans who have come out to celebrate this incredible milestone anniversary and history making reunion with us," Hill wrote. "Being able to tour this album to sold out crowds after 25 years has been an emotional experience!"

Hill then went onto describe how she had been treating her "serious vocal strain."
"I made it through each show by taking prescribed prednisone, but this can be detrimental to the body when taken in large amounts over long periods of time," she wrote. "In order to prevent any long term negative affect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery so that I can discontinue the medication completely."
