Lauryn Hill Announces 2011 Winter Tour

(AllHipHop News) Rapper/R&B star Lauryn Hill is heading out on a Winter tour starting next, playing a series of mid-sized venues possibly for the last time in her career.

The Grammy Award winning artist will hit the road on a 17-date tour, which will kick off December 27th in New York, at the High Line Ballroom.

Hill is pegged for six-dates in New York, a pair in New Jersey, five dates down south (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia), the mid-West and Canada.

Lauryn Hill will hit the road with a live band, well aware that she "may never play venues of this size again," some of which she hasn't played since the Fugee days."

She will perform reworked version of classics from her catalog, including tracks off her hit 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

According to Hill, she is looking forward to "see her loyal supporters up close and personal again."
